Looks like the input array is already being sorted before saving into matfile. Now all you have to do is load the file, and get the first and last elements from the array.

 >> load j                   % Here j is the matfile name
 >> min_num = j(1);          % Here j is array variable name
 >> max_num = j(end);        % Here J is again variable name
 >> new_array = [min_num max_num];

load j;
min_value=j(1);
max_value=j(end);
new_array = [min_value  max_value];

i am getting this error.

??? Undefined function or variable 'j'.

Error in ==> load_files at 2
min_value=j(1);

While saving the matfile, probably the variables were not saved properly. Can you try "clear all", then double click on the j.mat file and see if any variable comes up in the Workspace window?
