Octave: find the minimum value in a row, and also it's index

Question

How would one find the minimum value in each row, and also the index of the minimum value?

octave:1> a = [1 2 3; 9 8 7; 5 4 6]
a =

   1   2   3
   9   8   7
   5   4   6

Answer 1

This is hard to find in the documentation. https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/v4.0.3/Utility-Functions.html

octave:2> [minval, idx] = min(a, [], 2)
minval =

   1
   7
   4

idx =

   1
   3
   2
