Whenever I run this function, all is good if A(i)==N. However when it is not found, the function seems to run super slowly that i never end up getting the output of 0. Do I need to preallocate somewhere? If so, what would it be?

在 MATLAB Online 中打开

"Write a function, Finder, that receives an array of numbers A and a number N and returns the position of N within the array A or the value zero if N is not present within A."

function pos=Finder(A,N)
found=false;
while ~found
    for i=1:length(A);
        if A(i)==N;
            found=true;
            break
        end
    end
end
if found
    pos=i;
else
    pos=0;
end
end

You should use either a while loop or a for loop, but not both.

On top of what Walter said, in your code, if it never gets found, your condition never gets set to true and you never break out of the while loop.

The real question is, why not just use ismember?
