Question

MATLAB

Write a function maxContent(arr) that takes a cell array arr as input and returns the longest string and largest number in arr. If there are two character arrays of same length, the function should return one of them. Assume that integers in the cell array are nonnegative.

Answer 1

function [ word, number] = MaxContent( arr)
%
L = cellfun('length',arr); % here we compute the length
% of the elements in the cell array
[m, i] = max(L);
word = arr(i); % word holds the longest string

fprintf('The longest string is:');
disp(word);

dim = size(arr,1); % get the lenght of the cell array

number = 0;
for i=1:dim
if(L(i) == 1)
if(cell2mat(arr(i))>number)
number = cell2mat(arr(i));
end
else
continue;
end
end

fprintf('Maximum integer is %d',number);
end
