In the first test suite, Robinson and Reed both have the same age, so I think either the test suite should be improved or Reed's age in the .mat file should be changed.
Tricky question though
Good one
Interesting
rh x = I don't think you need the [] in your max matrix.
Good job.
where I can get the standard answer?
Easy staff. Don't think too much. First find the maximum age, then use the index of the maximum age and by using that you'll find the corresponding name.
Good problem
idk adam
a challenging problem
Good question
not bad
I solved the problem in MATLAB but on here it did not work. I found the index of the maximum number in the variable age, and then used that to output a name with the same index in the name variable.
not that hard
