There is a possibility that there is more than one location that is the maximum. The find() step returns all of the locations and min() of the find returns the first. Another way of doing that would be to use find(Summa==S, 1)

Can somebody help me explain this part of the code :
ind = find(S == summa);
index = min(ind);
Cheers,

The first line returns the linear indices of S where S==summa.
The second line returns the minimum of those indices.
Both lines are unnecessary, because max() will return that index if you actually request it. Why do all this:
summa = max(S);
ind = find(S == summa);
index = min(ind);
... when you can just do:
[summa index] = max(S);

You can get a speedup by using a convolution to calculate the moving sum:
v=randi(100,2000,1);
n=10;
clc
timeit(@() option1(v,n))
ans = 3.4287e-04
timeit(@() option2(v,n))
ans = 3.5765e-05
function [val,idx]=option1(v,n) % function as suggested by KSSV
if n>numel(v),val=0;idx=-1;return,end %my addition
N = length(v) ;
sumn = zeros(1, N - n + 1); % Pre-allocation
for i = 1:(N - n + 1)
sumn(i) = sum(v(i:(i+n-1))) ;
end
[val,idx] = max(sumn);
end
function [val,idx]=option2(v,n)
if n>numel(v),val=0;idx=-1;return,end
sumn=conv(v,ones(n,1),'valid');
[val,idx] = max(sumn);

[s,index] = maxsum(v, N)
Using this function
%% NOTE this function returns empty outputs if N>length(v)
% might be more sensitive to numerical error
function [s,index] = maxsum(v, N);
c=cumsum([0; v(:)]);
[s,index]=max(c(N+1:end)-c(1:end-N));

Thanks for the correction. I tested it for random lengths random vectors with random N against your code, and it seems to match now.
The fix doesn't affect the timing.

The faster timing of CONV for large array can be perhaps explained by multi-thread of the engine, that cannot be carrierd out with CUMSUM, which is sequential calculation.
TMW comes from far, the CONV in the earlier years suffered from performance. Now they have improved it greatly.
In any case a factor of 0.7 1.5 between two methods are to me essentially ... 1.
In any case your code get a vote from me.

Could you explain the summa = -inf; line ?
Is -inf a built in keyword or something ?

inf is the keyword for infinity. Negative infinity is guaranteed to be the lowest value possible.

%creat an empty vector for cunsecutive sums, and ultimately determine the
%highest value and its index with max(w)
w = [];
ii = 1;
if n > length(v)
summa = 0
index = -1
return;
else
while n <= length (v)
w(ii) = sum(v(ii:n));
ii = ii + 1;
n = n + 1;

[summa, index] = max(w)

[summa,index]=max(sumn);

Sorry, not logical indexing. That would be "normal" indexing, right? [summa,index]=max(sumn) gives the maximum and index of that (middle) value in the vector sumn. The next line changes that index to the first value in that rolling sum. When running the code with my debugger, it seems to work with a range of values.
TANUJA GUPTA
TANUJA GUPTA el 29 de Jul. de 2020
@Eric, Actually when we type for example [summa,index] = max(sum); it gives the maximum value which is passed to summa, but in index it passes the index of the first no.
[Y,I] = max(X) returns the indices of the maximum values in vector I.
If the values along the first non-singleton dimension contain more
than one maximal element, the index of the first one is returned.

Rik
Rik el 11 de Ag. de 2020
Put a breakpoint on the first line. Then use the debugger to execute your function line by line. When do you see the index go negative? When do your variable get unexpected values?
When you do that you will notice that your assumption of a column vector input isn't enforced anywhere.

m=m; and k=k; will not do anything, so why are they in your code? Also, you posted this as an answer, but it is a question. (and you forgot to format your code as code)
Are you aware that break will only stop one loop, not all? And have you looked at the other solutions in this thread?

What happens when you try this input to your function?
[a,b]=max_sum([1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1],2)
a = 9
b = 1×2
4 5
Is that correct? How can the index (the second output) be multiple values?

This is my answer
function [summa,index] = max_sum(v,n)
b=1;
summa = -1000000;
%i start it with -1000000 because you ALWAYS want to overwrite your summa
index = 0;
if n > size(v)
summa = 0;
index = -1;
return
else
%this if checks for size condition if n is bigger than the size summa is 0
%and index -1
while n<=length(v);
%this will break when n = to lenght of the vector
if sum(v(b:n)) > summa
%this condition sets the sumatory of the position from b to n.
%In this case b starts in 1 and n is the input, if the sum is
%bigger than the summa it overwrites it, thats why we wanted
%always to overwrite the value summa and we started it with
%-1000000
summa = sum(v(b:n));
index = b;
end
b = b+1;
n = n+1;
%adds +1 to b and n so my positions go from 1:n to 2:n+1 to 3:n+2
%till n = the lenght and it stops
end

the variable double has a max min number, idc wich is it. But u can change the -1000000 for that max min number that the memory can hold in the variable if u want. that should solve it. if ur input is that max min number u can add a counter of times the summa it equal to the starting number, save that position and return that position
Rik
Rik el 23 de Jul. de 2021
Your function should handle such a case. If the user needs to know how your function works and might need to edit your function, then it isn't working well.
Such limitations should be mentioned in the documentation of your function (which it currently lacks).
If you want to overwrite a variable with the lowest possible value, you should replace it with -inf.
%the number you were looking for is this:
-realmax
ans = -1.7977e+308
