Array Max and Min
Returns the maximum and minimum values found in an array, along with the indexes for each value.

Inputs/Outputs

array
An n-dimensional array of any type. This input also supports waveforms.
Data Type Changes on FPGA
When you add this node to a document targeted to an FPGA, this input has a default data type that uses fewer hardware resources at compile time.

max value
Maximum value found in array.

max index(es)
Index for the first max value.
If array is multidimensional, max index(es) is an array whose elements are the indexes for the first maximum value in array.
If array is empty, max index(es) and min index(es) are -1.
Data Type Changes Based on Input Array Dimension
The following table explains how the output data types change based on the dimension of the input array.
Dimensions in a numeric array | max index(es) and min index(es) data type |
---|---|
1 | scalar integers |
More than 1 | 1D arrays that contain the indexes of the maximum and minimum values |

min value
Minimum value found in array.

min index(es)
Index for the first min value.
If array is multidimensional, min index(es) is an array whose elements are the indexes for the first minimum value in array.
If array is empty, max index(es) and min index(es) are -1.
