Hi, I have this array a = [1:20]. How do I take the maximum value of every 5 elements of it. So I will have b = [5 10 15 20]. Anyone can help me? Thank you.

Try something like this...
a=1:20;
steps = 5;
b = NaN(mod(length(a)/steps,steps), 1); % preallocate b for speed, if you want to run larger loops
count = 1; % an index count for b in the loop
for ii = 1:steps:length(a)-(steps-1)
inds = ii:ii+(steps-1); % The indices we are interested in
b(count) = max(a(inds)); % Get the max
count = count+1; % add 1 to the counter
end
