[Scilab-users] column vector consisting of the respective minima of every row in a given 2d matrix

[Heinz Nabielek]

Friends:

a need the column vector consisting of the respective minima of every row in a given 2d matrix. So, I started off

--> M=rand(3,2)
   0.2113249   0.3303271
   0.7560439   0.6653811
   0.0002211   0.6283918


--> mean(M,2)
   0.270826
   0.7107125
   0.3143065

THIS LOOKS PERFECT !


--> min(M,2)
   0.2113249   0.3303271
   0.7560439   0.6653811
   0.0002211   0.6283918

THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANT !! It gives me the minimum between "2" and the numbers in my 2d matrix.

How do I get the vector consisting of the respective minima of every row in M?

I can do it with a FOR-LOOP, but that would be clumsy......
