How to find the closest value in 1D array in Matlab

My function GetClosestValue  finds the closest value in the gives array with respect to the entered target value.


EXAMPLE:

>>v=[1.0000   25.0000   26.0000   10.0000   25.0000   21.0000    8.0000    1.0500    2.0000];
>>[aa, bb]=GetClosestValue(v, 1.03)

aa =

    1.0500


bb =

     8



%%%%%%%%%%%%% CODE %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


function [x_ii, ii]=GetClosestValue(x, x_T)
% [x_ii, ii]=GetClosestValue(x, x_T)
% x= 1D array
% x_T= target value
% x_ii  = final value
% ii   = index corresponding to the final value
% Find the closest value (x_ii) and index (ii) in the given array with respect to the entered target value (x_T)

[mm, nn]=size(x);

if nn>mm
    x=x';
end

matrix=[abs(x-x_T) , x];

% sorting with respect to the first column, i.e. to the absolute differences among x and x_T

matrix=sortrows(matrix);

x_ii=matrix(1,2);
ii=find(x==x_ii);
