query an array variable?

[GDC]

I don't belive there is a mel command to do this, but it shouldn't be that hard to look through the array and find it.
I can think of two ways to do this...

// First way
float $myArray[]={9.0, 1000, 32, 4, 65};
float $buffer[]=`sort $myArray`;
int $lowest;

for($i=0;$i<size($myArray);$i++)
{
if($myArray[$i] == $buffer[0])
{
$lowest=$i;
break;
}
}

The other way is like this...

float $myArray[]={9.0, 1000, 32, 4, 65};
float $small = 1000;
int $lowest;

for($i=0;$i<size($myArray);$i++)
{
if($myArray[$i] < $small)
{
$small = $myArray[$i];
$lowest=$i;
}
}

I think the first method may be a little fast, but depending on the size of your arrays it might not matter.
