Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Using the above I can return the maximum of the array.

Is there a clever way to find the index of said maxium.

Ie:

a(0) = 10
a(1) = 12
a(2) = 9
a(3) = 3

Math(Max(a()) will give me 12. How can I return index (1) for that without comparing every value in the array to this max?

edit>>> I could sort the array and return the first element >> presumably quicker that me coding the comparision.

Off to try.

Got it >>> SORT array() [,indexarray()] << use the index array.

Cheers
