How can I get the min of cell arrays

1 view (last 30 days)
Hi everyone, I faced a problem with my Matlab code. Actually, I have a cell array which is:
BestGene={}
BestFitness={}
Bestresult={}
for i=1:5
Bestresult{i}={BestFitness{i},BestGene{i}}
end
My question is how can I get the BestGene{:} parameters of the min(BestFitness{:}).
for example:
BesrFitness{1}=0.022;
BestGene{1}={'dd','tt',3,5}
Bestresult{1}={0.022,{'dd','tt',3,5}}
BestFitness{2}=1.223;
BestGene{2}={'ccc','sss',13,25}
Bestresult{2}={1.223,{'ccc','sss',13,25}}
BestFitness{3}=0.003;
BestGene{3}={'d1d','t1t',31,51}
Bestresult{3}={0.003,{'d1d','t1t',31,51}}
the result of Result=min(BestFitness{:}) The answer should be {'d1d','t1t',31,51} Looking for your help

Try this:
BestGene={}
BestFitness={}
Bestresult={}
BestFitness{1}=0.022;
BestGene{1}={'dd','tt',3,5}
Bestresult{1}={0.022,{'dd','tt',3,5}}
BestFitness{2}=1.223;
BestGene{2}={'ccc','sss',13,25}
Bestresult{2}={1.223,{'ccc','sss',13,25}}
BestFitness{3}=0.003;
BestGene{3}={'d1d','t1t',31,51}
Bestresult{3}={0.003,{'d1d','t1t',31,51}}
celldisp(Bestresult)
% Use brackets or cat(1,BestFitness{:}) to concatenate all values into single vector.
[minValue, indexOfMin] = min([BestFitness{:}])
% Extract second cell of Bestresult's indexOfMin location.
% First need to extract the cell
finalResult = Bestresult(indexOfMin)
% This is a 1x2 cell. Need to get the second cell of it.
finalResult = finalResult{1}(1,2)
% Print to command window:
celldisp(finalResult)
