how to formulate if statement for a vector?

A=[-3,-2,-1,1,2,3]
B=[-3,-2,-1,2,3,4]
i have 4 condition and have to slect only one when it satisfies.
  1. negative A negative B i.e. A=[-3,-2,-1,0,0,0] B=[-3,-2,-1,0,0,0]
  2. negative A positive B .
  3. positive A negative B.
  4. positive A positive B.
How can i select only one condition if input is in vector.

Use logical indexing.
yes i have used logical factors to create the 0 0 0 to convert the unwanted negative or positive values.
The elements at some of the locations of your vectors satisfy your first condition. Others satisfy the fourth condition. Do you want to choose one of those conditions at random and apply it to the entire A and B vectors, or do you want to apply the condition that each pair of corresponding elements satisfies to that element of the result?
What do you want to do if none of the conditions are satisfied?
A = zeros(1, 6);
The elements of A are neither positive nor negative.
each pair of corresponding elements satisfies to that element of the result?
What do you want to do if none of the conditions are satisfied?
it would not happen.
also if the one condition does not satisfy the answer would be zero

if A<=0 & B<=0
...
elseif A<=0 & B>=0
...
elseif A>=0 & B<=0
...
elseif A>=0 & B>=0
...
end

does this work for vector inputs? because i have thousands of values
Yes, A>=0 tests whether all elements of A are nonnegative, e.g.
Operands to the and && operators must be convertible to logical scalar values.
it shows this error
Why do you use "&&" ? I only used "&".
matlab recommended it... will try it to do with only &
if the condition does not satisfies the answer should be zero.... for example if 4 satisfies then 1 2 3 would be zzero....
how should i modify my program for this
I must admit that I don't fully understand what you mean.
Maybe this
condition = zeros(4,1);
if A<=0 & B<=0
condition(1) = 1;
elseif A<=0 & B>=0
condition(2) = 1;
elseif A>=0 & B<=0
condition(3) = 1;
elseif A>=0 & B>=0
condition(4) = 1
end
?
Best wishes
Torsten.
If A and B are vectors, the expression
if A<=0 & B<=0
is converted internally to:
if all(A(:)<=0 & B(:)<=0) & ~isempty(A) & ~isempty(B)
Writing this explicitly is less confusing in my opinion. Array-valued conditions of if commands are a frequent source of bugs.
Can i also use it for 3 variables?
