Count the occurrence of consecutive 1s in 0-1 data in MATLAB

Question

I have a set of 1s and 0s. How do I count the maximum number of consecutive 1s?

(For example, x = [ 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 ....]). Here the answe

Answer 1

Another possibility:

x = randi([0 1], [1 100]);                %# random 0/1 vector

d = diff([0 x 0]);
maxOccurence = max( find(d<0)-find(d>0) )

which is inspired by an answer to a somewhat similar question...
