Finding a specific index while labeling it with another
Show older comments
If I have to find which person has the youngest age by labeling which person they are, how would I do that?
The array looks like this: AgeArray=[person;age] ---> AgeArray=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5; 12, 46, 84, 8, 23]
The left side is person 1, person 2, person 3, and so on, and the right side is the age, person 1 is 12 years old, person 2 is 46 years old, etc.
If I used the min(age) that will yield 8, which is person 4, but I am looking for the function to have the answer come back as person 4.
Thank you and sorry if it is confusing.

M = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5; 12, 46, 84, 8, 23]
[~,X] = min(M(2,:));
P = M(1,X)
