Matlab showing 0 instead of small value

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
In the following code delta_rho_m, delta_p_m (=(mass_density_CGS - mean(mass_density_CGS))) are very small, and delta_p_m is showing as 0 for all the data, at the same time (mass_density_CGS - mean(mass_density_CGS)) is giving values. I request for help to solve this issue

When examining the flow of execution, you will notice that the 'pressure_CGS' vector is initialized with twenty-four zeros. Consequently, calculating the average of the elements in the vector will yield zero as the result. Therefore, subtracting zero from zero will also result in zero. This occurs prior to the computation within the for-loop.
pressure_CGS = zeros(size(density_CGS));
...
delta_p_m = pressure_CGS - mean(pressure_CGS) % \delta p_m i.e. fluctuation in pressure
