title: Is There a Placeholder Variable in Octave?
body: <p>I'm trying to get the max indexes by row from a matrix. To do this, I'm doing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[throwaway, indexes] = max(blah, [], 2);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The variable "throwaway," would store values I don't want anymore and would never use, and I don't want to waste memory on it. Is there some way to indicate I don't want anything put into that throwaway variable? Something like undef in Perl, perhaps?</p>
