Hi Everyone, I have a row vector (size 1*100) which contains randomly distributed 1s and 0s. How can i make each element of this row vector equal to zero using for loop ?
Sorry, if this is a very basic question !!

There are many ways to modify arrays in MATLAB. First, let's look at the for loop method:
given:
% this could be any size row vector
foo = [0,1,0,0,1,1,0];
% loop through all elements of foo
for( i = 1:length(foo) )
% set each element to 0
foo(i) = 0;
end
Alternatively you could use logical indexing, e.g.
% this could be any size row vector
foo = [0,1,0,0,1,1,0];
% set foo equal to zero where foo equals 1
foo(foo == 1) = 0;
Also, in this simple case, you could just create a new row vector of all zeros:
% this could be any size row vector
foo = [0,1,0,0,1,1,0];
foo = zeros(size(foo));

There are also several options when dealing with Matrices. First, let me explain why you are seeing 1 1 1 when you execute the commands you mentioned.
% creates a 4x4 matrix
BS_channeltable = [1 1 0 1; 0 0 1 1; 1 0 1 0; 0 1 0 1];
let's split up this command to understand it better:
find(BS_channeltable(1,:))~= 0;
working from the innermost expression we have:
BS_channeltable(1,:)
which returns the first row (a 1x4 row vector) of the BS_channeltable matrix:
[1, 1, 0, 1]
then, that value is sent to the find function.
find([1, 1, 0, 1])
which returns the indices of any non-zero elements specifically:
[1, 2, 4]
then you are comparing these indices with 0 using not-equals
[1, 2, 4] ~= 0
and since none of these indices are zero, you get an array of true values, represented as:
[1, 1, 1]
This means that you could either use the indices returned by the find function directly i.e.
% get the indices of any non-zero values
indices = find(BS_channeltable(1,:));
% replace these specific values with 0
BS_channeltable(1, indices) = 0
Alternatively you could use logical indexing to get around using the find function i.e.
% set the any values in the first row of BS_channeltable
% that are not equal to zero, to zero
BS_channeltable(1, BS_channeltable(1,:) ~= 0) = 0;

You don't need a for loop. You can just do this:
row_vector(:) = 0; % Set all elements to 0, keep original variable type the same

Hi, thank you for the reply. But i am trying to achieve something else. I have to use a for loop as i am using a "find function" to first find the location of 1 in the matrix and then replace it with zero. let say this is my matrix, BS_channeltable = [1 1 0 1; 0 0 1 1; 1 0 1 0; 0 1 0 1];
but when i use this command, find(BS_channeltable(1,:))~= 0; it answers me 1 1 1, but i want to find their vertices in the matrix.
I hope i have explained it well for you.

Not clear yet what you want. Are you trying to do this operation for only certain rows of a 2D matrix? If so, you can still do this without find and a for loop. E.g.,
BS_channeltable(1,:) = 0;
Is there some reason you need the indexes of these locations, other than to set their locations equal to 0?

You can create a new vector with all zeros by typing the command:
new=zeros(1,100)
or by using a for loop:
for I=1:100
if v(I)==1
v(I)=0;
end
end
