This is the array

criterion = [Tsai_Hill, Tsai_Wu, Hoffman, Fischer, Malmeister, Marin, Ashkenazi, Cowin];

[r,t] = max(criterion);

All of the elements in the array have a value and i know how to find the max value and at what position it is, but is there a way to use the index value to get the name of the element that is the max value.

i.e. if Tsai_Hill is the max value, it will give me the value and then instead of giving me the index, it gives me Tsai_hill?

Rather than forcing meta-data into variable names, just use a table: it will make your code simpler.

Hi

You can create a separate string array with the same elements in the same order and access those with corresponding max index. For example consider the below code:

criterionStr = ["Tsai_Hill", "Tsai_Wu", "Hoffman", "Fischer", "Malmeister", "Marin", "Ashkenazi", "Cowi"];
criterion = [Tsai_Hill, Tsai_Wu, Hoffman, Fischer, Malmeister, Marin, Ashkenazi, Cowin];
[r,t] = max(criterion);
personName=criterionStr(t)  %%% It will give the names
