Re: [SciPy-dev] max and argmax

Aug. 3, 2007


      Thank you, I understood the solution, but I meant a func from numpy or 
scipy core.

Regards, D.

hi all,
in MATLAB
[val ind] = max(arr)
returns both max and index of the max element.
In Python I use
ind = argmax(arr)
val = arr(ind)
is it possible to avoid 2 lines, i.e. somehow to replace by single one?
def matlablike_max(arr):
    ind = argmax(arr)
    return ind, arr[ind]
ind, val = matlablike_max(arr)
