Too many output arguments

hi,

why do I get too many output arguments here? C is a matrix

[m, n]=size(C);

for i=1:1:n

j=i:m

[wert, wo]=[abs(max(C(:,i)))], [i:1:m]

end

you cannot assign to multiple variables using the syntax

[A, B] = [C], [D]

To assign to multiple variables then you need one right hand side, which has to be of the form:

1. a function that returns multiple outputs, like max can but abs cannot
2. a structure expansion
3. a cell expansion
4. deal() -- which is really just a function that returns multiple outputs

You could turn what you have into a call to deal(). I do not especially recommend that, as I find it less clear than multiple assignment statements.

Which of the four cases I listed do you consider your [wert, wo]=[k, z] line to be?
