Since reshape can only change the size of the given array in the way of preserving the linear indices, however I would like to reshape the array along the reverse dimensions.
For example, convert A into
>> C = reverse-reshape(A, 2, 2, 3) % not required to be only one function
C(:,:,1) =
1 3
5 7
C(:,:,2) =
2 4
6 8
C(:,:,3) =
3 5
7 9
Is there any better method than writing loops and fill numbers one by one in version R2017b?
You would first reshape with the dimensions in reverse order, then swap the first and third dimensions with permute to reorder the elements so that they are populated in reverse order:
>> B = permute(reshape(A, 3, 2, 2), [3 2 1])
B(:,:,1) =
1 3
5 7
B(:,:,2) =
2 4
6 8
B(:,:,3) =
3 5
7 9
To do this in general independent of the matrix dimensions and assuming it is a 3D matrix, declare an array called dims that contains the output desired matrix size, reverse the elements and supply this into reshape:
dims = [2 2 3];
B = permute(reshape(A, fliplr(dims)), [3 2 1]);
fliplr reverses the elements in a matrix horizontally.

Question 1: I have a 1x15 array, comprising of positive integers and negative integers. I wish to implement a MATLAB code which keeps all positive integers and skips the cells with negative contents.
I have tried the following:
X = [1 2 3 4 5 -10 1 -5 4 6 8 9 2 4 -2];
[r c] = size(X);
for i=1:r
for j=1:c
if X(i,j)<0
X(i,j)=X(i,j+1)
end
end
end
The output should be:
X_new = [1 2 3 4 5 1 4 6 8 9 2 4]
How do I do this?
Question 2:
X = [1 2 3 4 5 -10 1 -5 4 6 8 9 2 4 -2]
Y = [5 3 8 9 4 5 6 7 4 7 9 5 2 1 4]
From Question 1,
X_new = [1 2 3 4 5 1 4 6 8 9 2 4]
I need to delete the corresponding values in Y so that:
Y_new = [5 3 8 9 4 6 4 7 9 5 2 1]
How do I perform this?
In MATLAB, manipulating arrays and matrices can be done much easier than for-loop solutions,
in your task, can do find and delete negative value in the array, simply, as follows:
Idx_neg = X < 0; % finding X indices corresponding to negative elements
X ( Idx_neg ) = []; % removing elements using [] operator
Y ( Idx_neg ) = []; % removing corresponding elements in Y array
I'm having trouble in looking for an element in a specific.
I have the array
A = [ 1 2 3 7 2 ; 2 8 5 7 2; 1 9 8 4 1; 8 7 2 10 9; 10 9 4 3 8]
I just want to get the index of A(3,4) for the element of 4. However my code spits out the two locations of the element 4, which is A(5,3) and A(3,4).
I used [row, col] = find(E==4)
Use
[row, col] = find(E==4, 1)
The second parameter is the number of elements you want to find. Find more details at https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/find.html
Matlab searches a matrix in column-by-column order. If you want to find the first element by rows, you could transpose E before calling find. But you need to swap the resulting indices then:
[col, row] = find(E'==4, 1)
Here's a lengthier, iterative way to find the first index:
A = [ 1 2 3 7 2 ;...
2 8 5 7 2;...
1 9 8 4 1;...
8 7 2 10 9;...
10 9 4 3 8];
[a,b] = size(A);
for i = 1:a
for j = 1:b
if A(i,j) == 4
break
end
end
if A(i,j) == 4
break
end
end
index = [i,j]
It returned [3, 4] for me.
I am trying to generate random numbers between 1 and 5 using Matlab's randperm and calling randperm = 5.
Each time this gives me a different array let's say for example:
x = randperm(5)
x = [3 2 4 1 5]
I need the vector to be arranged such that 4 and 5 are always next to each other and 2 is always between 1 and 3... so for e.g. [3 2 1 4 5] or [4 5 1 2 3].
So essentially I have two "blocks" of unequal length - 1 2 3 and 4 5. The order of the blocks is not so important, just that 4 & 5 end up together and 2 in between 1 and 3.
I can basically only have 4 possible combinations:
[1 2 3 4 5]
[3 2 1 4 5]
[4 5 1 2 3]
[4 5 3 2 1]
Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks
I'm not sure if you want a solution that would somehow generalize to a larger problem, but based on how you've described your problem above it looks like you are only going to have 8 possible combinations that satisfy your constraints:
possible = [1 2 3 4 5; ...
1 2 3 5 4; ...
3 2 1 4 5; ...
3 2 1 5 4; ...
4 5 1 2 3; ...
5 4 1 2 3; ...
4 5 3 2 1; ...
5 4 3 2 1];
You can now randomly select one or more of these rows using randi, and can even create an anonymous function to do it for you:
randPattern = #(n) possible(randi(size(possible, 1), [1 n]), :)
This allows you to select, for example, 5 patterns at random (one per row):
>> patternMat = randPattern(5)
patternMat =
4 5 3 2 1
3 2 1 4 5
4 5 3 2 1
1 2 3 5 4
5 4 3 2 1
You can generate each block and shuffle each one then and set them as members of a cell array and shuffle the cell array and finally convert the cell array to a vector.
b45=[4 5]; % block 1
b13=[1 3]; % block 2
r45 = randperm(2); % indices for shuffling block 1
r13 = randperm(2); % indices for shuffling block 2
r15 = randperm(2); % indices for shuffling the cell
blocks = {b45(r45) [b13(r13(1)) 2 b13(r13(2))]}; % shuffle each block and set them a members of a cell array
result = [blocks{r15}] % shuffle the cell and convert to a vector
How can I remove elements in a matrix, that aren't all in a straight line, without going through a row at a time in a for loop?
Example:
[1 7 3 4;
1 4 4 6;
2 7 8 9]
Given a vector (e.g. [2,4,3]) How could I remove the elements in each row (where each number in the vector corresponds to the column number) without going through each row at a time and removing each element?
The example output would be:
[1 3 4;
1 4 4;
2 7 9]
It can be done using linear indexing at follows. Note that it's better to work down columns (because of Matlab's column-major order), which implies transposing at the beginning and at the end:
A = [ 1 7 3 4
1 4 4 6
2 7 8 9 ];
v = [2 4 3]; %// the number of elements of v must equal the number of rows of A
B = A.'; %'// transpose to work down columns
[m, n] = size(B);
ind = v + (0:n-1)*m; %// linear index of elements to be removed
B(ind) = []; %// remove those elements. Returns a vector
B = reshape(B, m-1, []).'; %'// reshape that vector into a matrix, and transpose back
Here's one approach using bsxfun and permute to solve for a 3D array case, assuming you want to remove indexed elements per row across all 3D slices -
%// Inputs
A = randi(9,3,4,3)
idx = [2 4 3]
%// Get size of input array, A
[M,N,P] = size(A)
%// Permute A to bring the columns as the first dimension
Ap = permute(A,[2 1 3])
%// Per 3D slice offset linear indices
offset = bsxfun(#plus,[0:M-1]'*N,[0:P-1]*M*N) %//'
%// Get 3D array linear indices and remove those from permuted array
Ap(bsxfun(#plus,idx(:),offset)) = []
%// Permute back to get the desired output
out = permute(reshape(Ap,3,3,3),[2 1 3])
Sample run -
>> A
A(:,:,1) =
4 4 1 4
2 9 7 5
5 9 3 9
A(:,:,2) =
4 7 7 2
9 6 6 9
3 5 2 2
A(:,:,3) =
1 7 5 8
6 2 9 6
8 4 2 4
>> out
out(:,:,1) =
4 1 4
2 9 7
5 9 9
out(:,:,2) =
4 7 2
9 6 6
3 5 2
out(:,:,3) =
1 5 8
6 2 9
8 4 4
This question already has answers here:
Generate a matrix containing all combinations of elements taken from n vectors
(4 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I'm trying to build all possible arrays of length n of a vector of n elements with at least 2 integers in each position. I should be getting 2^n combinations, 16 in this case. My code is generating only half of them, and not saving the output to an array
allinputs = {[1 2] [2 3] [3 4] [5 6]}
A = []
the command I run is
inputArray = inputBuilder(A,[],allinputs,1)
for the function
function inputArray = inputBuilder(A,currBuild, allInputs, currIdx)
if currIdx <= length(allInputs)
for i = 1:length(allInputs{currIdx})
mybuild = [currBuild allInputs{currIdx}(i)];
inputBuilder(A,mybuild,allInputs,currIdx + 1);
end
if currIdx == length(allInputs)
A = [A mybuild];
%debug output
mybuild
end
if currIdx == 1
inputArray = A;
end
end
end
I want all 16 arrays to get output in a vector. Or some easy way to access them all. How can I do this?
EDIT:
Recursion may be a requirement because allinputs will have subarrays of different lengths.
allinputs = {[1] [2 3] [3 4] [5 6 7]}
with this array it will be 1*2*2*3 or 12 possible arrays built
Not sure exactly if this is what you want, but one way of doing what I think you want to do is as follows:
allinputs = {[1 2] [2 3] [3 4] [5 6]};
comb_results = combn([1 2],4);
A = zeros(size(comb_results));
for rowi = 1:size(comb_results, 1)
indices = comb_results(rowi,:);
for idxi = 1:numel(indices)
A(rowi, idxi) = allinputs{idxi}(indices(idxi));
end
end
This gives:
A =
1 2 3 5
1 2 3 6
1 2 4 5
1 2 4 6
1 3 3 5
1 3 3 6
1 3 4 5
1 3 4 6
2 2 3 5
2 2 3 6
2 2 4 5
2 2 4 6
2 3 3 5
2 3 3 6
2 3 4 5
2 3 4 6
combn is here.
