Purpose

Finds the index of the array element closest to chosen value.

Synopsis

index = findindx(array,r)

Description

Inputs are an array of values array and a value to locate r. Output index is the linear index into array which will return the closest value to r.

Inputs

  • array = input data array.
  • r = target value.

Outputs

  • index = linear index into array that returns the closest value to r.

Examples

index = findindx(array,r);       %get an index
nearest_value = array(index);    %find the value
