construct anonymous function that returns the argmax of two symbolic variables

Hi, I'd like to construct an anonymous function that returns the argmax of two symbolic variables, e.g.,

syms x y
symMax = @(x,y) max(x,y)
symMax(3,4)

returns

4,

but I don't know how to persuade the anonymous function to return the second argument of max, which is 2.

Parenthetically, I can't do this even when x,y are regular variables, but in that case I have more options to work with.

Thanks very much for any advice.

Leo, use

 symMax = @(x) [max(x) find(x==max(x))]
 symMax([3,4])

Wow, so simple, thanks very much indeed! For my purposes

argmax = @(x)(find(x==max(x)))

is perfect, since I only care about the second argument!
