Hello! I have some old code from a colleague who is unavailable to answer Qs. There is a case where:
v(n:1)=1 where n>1
The fact that n>1 is the part that is confusing me. I understand that the : acts as an indices range assigning the value 1 to all values in vector v.
What am I missing? Why would 1 be at the end? Does this reverse the order of the array or continue back to the first element after reaching the end?
Thanks!

Please copy and paste the exact line of code. I don't understand the "where n>1" part. How are you determining that from the code? Or was it in a comment? Or do you have a for loop like "for k = 1 : n" and then the "v" line of code inside the for loop? Don't make us guess.

Matlab doesn't reverse the order. Try this code:
A=1:10;
n=3;
A(n:1)=1
or run this:
3:1
answer is:
ans =
Empty matrix: 1-by-0

From the Matlab help:
j:k is the same as [j,j+1,j+2,...,j+m], where m = fix(k-j). In the case where both j and k are integers, this is simply [j,j+1,...,k]. This syntax returns an empty matrix when j > k
So I think your guess that nothing happens is right.

I will ask this from my friends. If you find the reason please share it here.
