# indexOfMaximum(_:)

Returns the maximum value and corresponding index in a single-precision vector.

## Declaration

```swift
static func indexOfMaximum<U>(_ vector: U) -> (UInt, Float) where U : AccelerateBuffer, U.Element == Float
```

## Parameters

- `vector`: The input vector.

## Mentioned in

Performing Fourier transforms on interleaved-complex data

## Return Value

Return Value A tuple that contains the maximum value and corresponding index.

## Discussion

Discussion This function calculates the maximum value and its corresponding index of the first N elements of the input vector and writes the results to the output scalar parameters, C and I, respectively.

The following code shows an example of using this function: let a: [Float] = [-1.5, 2.25, 3.6,                   0.2, -0.1, -4.3]

let indexOfMaximum = vDSP.indexOfMaximum(a) print("indexOfMaximum", indexOfMaximum) // Prints "indexOfMaximum (2, 3.6)".
