\begin{document}

\noindent I have the list
|
|
\[
|
|
\valueA,\valueB,\valueC,\valueD,\valueE,\valueF,\valueG,\valueH
|
|
\]
|
|
in which the largest element is $\calc{max(\valueA,\valueB,\valueC,\valueD,\valueE,\valueF,\valueG,\valueH)}$ (but that is of no importance to me).\\[\baselineskip]
|
|
How can I get \LaTeX{} to extract the position number of the largest element in a list? (In the example above, the answer is of course `$3$'.)
