Removing the columns of a matrix
显示 更早的评论
Hi,
I try to write a code that compares strings in a cell array. In this code, after it compares the strings in the cell array "type", it assigns the corresponding element in lat matrix to lat1 matrix. This situation is same in lat2 and long2 matrices. But in if statement, when it TF≠1, then it assigns 0 element in lat1 matrix. How can I remove the 0 elements from lat1,lat2,long1 and long2 matrices?
clear all
[lat,long,station,type]=textread('latandlong.txt','%f%f%s%s');
lat1=[];
long1=[];
lat2=[];
long2=[];
for i=1:24
TF=strcmpi('down',type{i,:})
if TF==1
lat1(i,:)=lat(i,:);
long1(i,:)=long(i,:);
elseif TF==0
lat2(i,:)=lat(i,:);
long2(i,:)=long(i,:);
end
end

About the useless "clear all" see: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/16484-good-programming-practice#answer_22301

The 0 are not written into lat1 in the "if TF==0" block, but lat1(1, :) is filled with zeros automatically if you assign lat1(2, :). Try this:
x = [];
x(2) = 5
Modification of your code:
lat1=[];
long1=[];
lat2=[];
long2=[];
for i=1:24
TF=strcmpi('down', typeC{i,:}) % "type" => "typeC"!
if TF==1
lat1 = cat(1, lat1, lat(i,:));
long1 = cat(1, long1, long(i,:));
elseif TF==0
lat2 = cat(1, lat2, lat(i,:));
long2 = cat(1, long2, long(i,:));
end
end
But letting a matrix grow in each iteration is very inefficient. Faster and nicer:
index = strcmpi('down', typeC); % "type" => "typeC"!
lat1 = lat(index, :);
long1 = long(index, :);
lat2 = lat(~index, :);
long2 = long(~index, :);
Do not use "type" as name of a variable, because this shadows the built-in function with the same name.
