Question

EDIT How to simplify the following code:

if(x(a) > x(b))
  s = b;
  e = a;
else
  s = a;
  e = b;
end

I can get it shorter like:

s = a;
e = b;
if(x(a) > x(b))
  s = b;
  e = a;
end

Thanks!

EDIT

h = [a b]; 
[~, idx] = min([x(a) x(b)]);
s = h(idx)
e = h(3-idx)

Answer 1

Are you sure your code does what you wanted it to do?

Maybe you want to try

s = min([x(a),x(b)]);
e = max([x(a),x(b)]); 

EDIT: OK there you go,

r = [find(x==max(x), find(x==minx)];

you have what you need in r but if you need them as s and e then:

s = r(1);
e = r(2);
