Outputing a correspond element of another variable

I want my final output to be the element A that is equivalent to B(max)

A = ["Bayo" "Tun" "s"]

B = [21, 45, 11]

example

max(B) = 45

How do I output the corresponding element in A (in it original string format).

Try this

A = ["Bayo"    "Tun"    "s"];
B = [21, 45, 11];

[~, idx] = max(B);
output = A(idx);

Result

>> output
output = 
    "Tun"

Thank you Ameer Hamza. it works. Please can you explain what

[~, idx] = max(B); does? Particularly the '~'

[Ameer Hamza]

max output two values. The first output is the maximum value, and the second is the index of the maximum value. ~ tells MATLAB to ignore the first output. You can also assign it to a variable if you are going to use it later

[max_value, idx] = max(B);

Thank you so much!
