Dear Inquisit Team,

What is the best way to find the index of a value in the max function?

i.e. index of max(4,0,1,3,2) would return 2, index of max(2,3,4,1,5) would return 4.

I feel like there might be a way to do this with lists:  https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/current/html/language/functions/indexof.htm


Thanks,
Andrew

Not sure how to edit, but obviously the examples I gave would be for the min function.  For the max, we would return 1 and 5, respectively, thanks

This solution seems to work for values <=5 but is not general to any integer N without N if else statements.

<list best>
/ items = (values.rem0, values.rem1, values.rem2, values.rem3, values.rem4, values.rem5)
/ poolsize = 6
/ selectionrate = always
</list>
