An approach to show off (lol) -
a=[0.2 0.1 -0.1 0 0.9]
a = 1×5
0.2000 0.1000 -0.1000 0 0.9000
max(a, 0)
ans = 1×5
0.2000 0.1000 0 0 0.9000

If you want to know if a matrix contains any negatives (but not to replace them) the use
contains_negative = any(a<0); % returns true or false
Hi Suchismita,
You can use something like the following:
[m n]=size(a);
for i=1:m
for j=1:n
if a(i,j)<0
disp('contains negative element');
a(i,j)=0;
end
end
end
