Matlab Find() Function

Hello, I have a matrix -
M = [−1 −1 0 0 ; 1 0 −1 0 ; 0 1 1 −1; 0 0 0 1 ; 1 −1 0 0 ]
Basically I have to go along the first row and find an element value of "-1", then look along the columns which the value "-1" was found and look for value "1". I have then to sum the row index of the column which the value "1" was found. (Loop of sorts) until I've reached the end.
Hope that makes sense and thanks

Also forgot to add, this code should be applicable for any matrix not just the one given
Is there always a 1 directly below the "first -1 after a 1"?
Did you try a simple for loop?
Yeah so u go from -1 to 1 then to -1. This is what i have so far, what do you think? Also how would the For loop work?

Do you mean like this:
M = [-1 -1 0 0 ; 1 0 -1 0 ; 0 1 1 -1; 0 0 0 1 ; 1 -1 0 0 ]
[rows, columns] = size(M)
output = zeros(rows, 2); % List of starting column and ending column for every row.
col1 = find(M(1, :) == -1, 1, 'first');
output(1, 1) = col1;
for row = 2 : rows
col2 = col1 - 1 + find(M(row, col1 : end) == -1, 1, 'first');
if isempty(col2)
% No more results found. Reached last column of array.
break;
end
% Save results
output(row, 1) = col1;
output(row, 2) = col2;
col1 = col2;
end
output
Not sure why you're wanting the last 1 in row 4 since there is no -1 that follows it.

That looks pretty solid, however for the output, I have to keep a sum of the row position that the number "1" is found. For example, in the matrix given previously, it would be D=1+3+4=8. But the answer given is great man, thank you so much for your time.
.
You can use cumsum() or sum() at the end to sum up all the individual indexes.
