Generate a evenly spaced array based on two arrays

3 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi,
I have one set of starting and ending points:
s_pt = [1,8,15];
e_pt = [3,12,20];
Now I would like to generate a evenly spaced array based on the corresponding starting and ending points. In this case, there would be three sets of data: (1-3, 8-12, 15-20). The answer would be like:
answer = [1,2,3,8,9,10,11,12,15,16,17,18,19,20]
Are there any functions to generate this kind of data without using for loop?

Because it takes more time and occupied more memory with for loop.

This is actually something I submitted as a cody problem a while back.
And this is the reverse problem I also submitted.
If you want to see all the solutions you would have to submit a valid solution (of any size) in the first place and then solve any other cody problem.
Note that the best scoring cody solution is unlikely to be the most efficient one.

>> s_pt = [1,8,15];
>> e_pt = [3,12,20];
>> cell2mat(arrayfun(@(s,e)s:e, s_pt, e_pt, 'UniformOutput',false))
ans =
1 2 3 8 9 10 11 12 15 16 17 18 19 20
Although using a loop is likely to be faster...

Is this homework? It sounds like homework, so I'll just give a hint for now. Use the colon operator (look it up) or, if you want a somewhat different way, use linspace(). You're going to have to learn the colon operator VERY soon if you want to do anything in MATLAB, so start now.
Hint:
8:12 is equal to an array 8,9,10,11,12. You can literally do the assignment in one single line of code.

Yes, this is what I have now. But I was thinking not to use for loop.

Like Stephen mentioned, and you noted in your comment to him, for loops are not always the slowest approach . You could even speed this up even more if you preallocated space for "out" with the zeros() function.
