\noindent I have the list |
| 21 |
\[ |
| 22 |
\valueA,\valueB,\valueC,\valueD,\valueE,\valueF,\valueG,\valueH |
| 23 |
\] |
| 24 |
in which the largest element is $\calc{max(\valueA,\valueB,\valueC,\valueD,\valueE,\valueF,\valueG,\valueH)}$ (but that is of no importance to me).\\[\baselineskip] |
| 25 |
How can I get \LaTeX{} to extract the position number of the largest element in a list? (In the example above, the answer is of course `$3$'.) |
