One might wish that Max had a MaxTest option. Since it doesn't one could do
something like the following:
mylist = {{1, 2}, {3, 4}, {8, 3}};
maxelement = First[mylist];
Scan[If[Part[#, 2] > Part[maxelement, 2], maxelement = #] &, mylist];
maxelement
{3, 4}

Hi,
Suppose a list
mylist={{1,2},{3,4},{8,3}}
I would like to extract the element {i,j} of mylist for which j is max
(here, it is the second one {3,4}).
Somebody could help me, please?
