Problem 1779. Oh Zero Zero Zero!!!
Hello all, So you have to find the largest section of zeros in a vector and then find the length of those zeros and there starting position... For example:
x = [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1]; %then the output is: LP = [9 10] %[Length Position]
%Or another example:
x = [1 0 3 49 3 2 232 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 290 0 0 0 12 323 34]; %then the output is: LP = [6 9]
%Or another example:
x = [1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0]; %then the output is: LP = [7 3];
Have Fun!

It's "their starting position" not "there starting position"...
