How to assign -INFINITY amongst others to multiple variables?

Question

I have this line of pseudocode that I am trying to translate in Matlab:

(maxSum, maxStartIndex, maxEndIndex) := (-INFINITY, 0, 0)

I have translated the second and third variables simply assigning a 0:

maxStartIndex=0;
maxEndIndex=0;

How should I translate this line?

maxSum= -INFINITY

I have not find reference for this.

`-inf` is not what you want? or basically `[maxSum, maxStartIndex, maxEndIndex] = deal(-inf,0,0)` — Robert Seifert, May 23 '15 at 08:55
@thewaywewalk Thanks a lot. I had no reference for it. Please post it as answer I am happy to accept it. — FeliceM, May 23 '15 at 08:57

Probably you're just looking for deal:

[maxSum, maxStartIndex, maxEndIndex] = deal(-inf,0,0)
