Matlab 2012: bug in 2012 implementation of Max() !???

Try to to this:

max([1 2 5 2])

 it then says:

    Index exceeds matrix dimensions.

however for min([1 2 5 2]) or even mean([1 2 5 2]) there is no problem and they work fine.

This is because you have defined a variable by the name max:

whos max

and to fix it:

clear max

and then rename your variable something else (maybe the_max)

An evergreen.

Try this:

clear('max')

max(1:5)

max = rand(1, 5);

max(1:5)
