I am trying to get it to find the max lucky number but instead of diplaying the number i would i it to diplay the name witht the highest lucky number. Is there anyway i could get the matrix to diplay in the command window?( for favorite matrix)
like this [1 0
0 1]
character(1).Name = ('Elora');
character(1).Skills = {'Hugs' 'Hyponosis'};
character(1).Lucky_Number = ('7');
character(1).Favorite_Matrix = [1 0; 0 1];
character(2).Name = ('Garrett');
character(2).Skills = {'Crossbows' 'Trains'};
character(2).Lucky_Number = ('8');
character(2).Favorite_Matrix = [4 3; 2 1];
find(max(character(:).Lucky_Number))

Why is the value of character.Lucky_Number a character rather than a number? It adds to the complexity of the solution.

character(1).Name = ('Elora');
character(1).Skills = {'Hugs' 'Hyponosis'};
character(1).Lucky_Number = ('7');
character(1).Favorite_Matrix = [1 0; 0 1];
character(2).Name = ('Garrett');
character(2).Skills = {'Crossbows' 'Trains'};
character(2).Lucky_Number = ('8');
character(2).Favorite_Matrix = [4 3; 2 1];
[maxnum,loc] = max( str2double( {character.Lucky_Number} ) )
character(loc).Name
