Why not just use max? Since it does exactly what you claim to want.
diff as applied to a vector will not help you here.

[value,index]=max(vector) %use max which does exactly what you want

@diadaline: Use these three inputs:
a = rand(1, 10)
b = 1:10
c = 10:-1:1
While using max() is easy here, there is no chance to use diff() to find a maximum value. But here, diff can be useful:
d = sin(0:0.001:pi)
Here you have the additional knowledge, that the elements are monotonically increasing and decreasing. Together with this knowledge diff can be used:
find(diff(d) <= 0, 1, 'first')
max() is more useful, because it works in the general case also.
