I am really a beginner level at matlab. Now I want to have a loop, such that it iterates over a vector (not consecutive numbers) which contains a decreasing number of elements through iteration.
For example, I have [1; 2 ;3; 4] (thinking of it as person 1, 2, 3, 4)
then I want to do something such that for example person 1 and 4 gets food, person 2 and 3 left with no food.
In the next round, I want person 2 and 3 (those unassigned)to go through the assignment process again but not 1 and 4. So I create a vector [2;3] to keep track of those left without food.
However,the for i=1:length(vector) gives me a series of consecutive numbers, what I want is
for i in vector do something; end
How to implement this?
when I just put
i=vector,
Matlab says Index exceeds matrix dimensions
If you want to loop through an arbitrary vector, just use that vector directly in a for loop. For example:
vector = [3, 4, 7, 1, 1]
for i = vector
disp(i)
end
will output 3 4 7 1 1. This is the equivalent of "for i in vector do something."
