padding an array with zeros in between elements
显示 更早的评论
Basically, I would like to pad an array of location peak values with zeros inbetween each, the catch is the number of zeros between each should be the difference of the two ascending elements. For example, in an array A = [7 15 21 29], with a loop I would like to pad this so it turns into,
A = [ 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15 0 0 0 0 0 21 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 29 ]
I'm aware I'll have to minus 1 to the equation somewhere too. As you can see, I'm basically making an ascending integer array with the elements that were not included now included as zeros... I've been trying with for loops and if statements but to no avail unfortuantely
Thanks in advance!

Assuming that A is sorted, here is a simple approach:
A = [7,15,21,29];
B = A(1):A(end);
B(~ismember(B,A)) = 0
If A is not sorted, then replace A(1):A(end) with min(A):max(A)

Hi Gillean,
I understand from your query that you want to modify your array such that the missing numbers between two elements are replaced by '0'.
You can preallocate an array of 0s the required size. Then, using a loop, you can calculate the number of 0s required between two elements, and shift the second element by that difference.
Here is the code to implement the same:
A = [7, 15, 21, 29];
total_length = A(end) - A(1) + 1;
% Preallocate the padded array with zeros
padded_A = zeros(1, total_length);
padded_A(1) = A(1);
insert_index = 1;
for i = 1:length(A)-1
% Calculate the number of positions to move forward
insert_index = insert_index + (A(i+1) - A(i));
padded_A(insert_index) = A(i+1);
end
disp(padded_A);
Hope this helps!
