Min/Max at each index between 2 matricies

[SW_10829970]

I am trying to find the min/max value at each index across 2 matricies.

The min/max function finds the smallest/largest value across both matricies at every index, which is not what i want.. PNG and mathcadfile attached for clarity. I am using mathcad prime 9.0.0.0. I have tried several syntaxes (shown in the attachment), but to no luck.

Does anyone know the syntax for this?

Cheers,

Sebastian

Thank you for your swift reply! It seemed that calling out i was the issue 🙂

The built-in function "min" and "max" can't be vectorized, but you can define your own Min/Max functions based on the built-in ones and call these vectorized:

Is there an easy function or setting to make the answer come out as a 5x1 matrix, rather than a 1x5?

The answer actually IS a 5 x 1 matrix (5 rows, 1 column).

If you would rather like to see it as a row vector (1 x 5 matrix), simply use the Transpose operator.
