LARGEVALUES = findNlargest(INPUTVALUES, N)

Finds the N largest values in INPUTVALUES and outputs them to LARGEVALUES

[LARGEVALUES, INDEX] = findNlargest(INPUTVALUES, N)

INDEX is the index of the returned values in the original INPUTVALUES

Example:

L = findNlargest([2 7 7 6 -1],3)

L =

6
7
7

Written in c, so the operation is fast. Type "mex findNlargest.c" in matlab before use.

You might need a free compiler if it was not installed with your matlab:
