How to find which element is the lowest first or second or third or ....

There is a 1X1 matrix.

I wanna find which element is the MINIMUM not the minimum value but the number of the particular element.

If this is the matrix,

    y = [682.8333  399.8160   34.2270   46.1800  107.7035 ];

I know the minimum value is 34.2270 to get that we can use

    mini= min(y);

but what i want is how to get the number of the minimum element

in here it's the 3rd element.

Thank you.

Use the min function with two outputs:

[mini,index] = min(y);

The second output, ‘index’ here, is the index of the first minimum value the function finds.
