Finding the matrix with the most elements?

Hello all,
I'm kinda new to matlab so I'm still trying find my way through the way things work. That said I have a question that I need some help on:
I have 3 matrix arrays of varying sizes, called say V1, V2, and V3. How would I go about programming the code so that matlab finds the matrix with the most elements.
I want to save the number of elements in the largest matrix as it's own variable, "LarMat", and I know how to do that already, it's just that finding the largest of the three is giving me some trouble.

This is one way:
V1 = rand(2,2);
V2 = rand(3,3);
V3 = rand(4,4);
[els,idx] = max([numel(V1) numel(V2) numel(V3)]);
The ‘els’ variable will tell you the maximum number of elements, and the ‘idx’ variable will tell you which one. (It is ‘V3’ — the third matrix whose elements are determined — here.)

Your answer was simple and straightforward, my program string works well now, thank you for you help.
My pleasure!
Thank you for the compliment.
Andrew, what was the method you were using to find "LarMat"?

Try this:
% Check the number of elements against LarMat,
% which you say that you've computed already (or at least know how to).
if LarMat == numel(V1)
fprintf('V1 is the largest.\n');
elseif LarMat == numel(V2)
fprintf('V2 is the largest.\n');
else
fprintf('V3 is the largest.\n');
end
V1 = rand(1,5);
V2 = rand(4,3);
V3 = magic(2);
% Number of elements in each matrix:
numels = [numel(V1) numel(V2) numel(V3)];
% Max number of elements per matrix:
LarMat = max(numels)
% Matrix with most elements:
BiggestMatrix = find(numels==LarMat)
