How do I switch location of the largest and smallest elements of an array?

vect = randi(20,1,15)

vect = 1×15

19 10 1 7 13 10 7 6 20 4 10 2 8 13 14

 partA = round(vect)

partA = 1×15

19 10 1 7 13 10 7 6 20 4 10 2 8 13 14

 partB=min(partA)

partB = 1

 partC=max(partA)

partC = 20

 MeanValue=mean(vect)

MeanValue = 9.6000

 ind = find(partA~=MeanValue)

ind = 1×15

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

 partD=ind

partD = 1×15

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

 partE=sort(partA,'descend')

partE = 1×15

20 19 14 13 13 10 10 10 8 7 7 6 4 2 1

Now how do I switch largest and smallest element of partE?

vect = randi(20,1,15)

vect = 1×15

10 17 7 13 16 14 12 20 9 2 20 5 2 14 10

[~, imax] = max(vect)

imax = 8

[~, imin] = min(vect)

imin = 10

% swap
tmp = vect(imax);
vect(imax) = vect(imin);
vect(imin) = tmp;

vect

vect = 1×15

10 17 7 13 16 14 12 2 9 20 20 5 2 14 10

Okay thanks! But can I make a new vector by switching the largest and smallest value of partE?

[Chunru]

Do you mean this?

vect_new = vect;        % copy the vector to a new one
tmp = vect_new(imax);
vect_new(imax) = vect_new(imin);
vect_new(imin) = tmp;
