Count instances of subarray inside array

8 次查看(过去 30 天)
For an array
A = [2,2,2,2];
I would like to count how many times [2,2] appears in A, using each value only in one possible pair.
For example,
numel(strfind(A,[2,2]))
returns 3.
But if each "2" is used only once, then we have only 2 instances, instead of 3.
A is not necessarily of all same elements or even-number size, it could be e.g. A = [1,2,3].
Is there a simple way to do that?

Try reshape into n*2 array and use ismember with rows option.

I mean for this approach to work regardless of the size and elements, such as A = [1,2,3]. I edited the question to clarify.

You could do the following:
b = A == 2; % binary indicating where A equal to 2
count = 0;
ii = 1;
while ii < numel(A)
if b(ii+1) && b(ii)
count = count + 1;
ii = ii + 1;
end
ii = ii + 1;
end
When there is a match, the loop variable, ii, increments an extra time so that each "2" is only used once.

Thank you. There might be no other way around but to do it following the logic in your answer. For now I will wait to see if there are other answers with simpler, maybe one-line, approach.

Another way would be to get the length of each group of twos (based on this answer by @Image Analyst) and then round down each group's length to the nearest whole number divisible by two:
measurements = regionprops(A == 2, 'Area');
allLengths = [measurements.Area];
count = sum(floor(allLengths/2))
(if you have the image processing toolbox)
