Hi Austin,
To achieve the desired outcome, you need to identify the indices of -10 in CA, then find the adjacent numbers in CC at those indices, calculate their absolute difference, and add this difference to the corresponding elements in CB. Here's how you can implement this:
CA = {[5 -10 2], [6 6 8], [0 9 -10 8 -10 3]};
CB = {[4 17 2], [6 6 10], [9 3 4 9 7 6]};
CC = {[1 2 4], [4 2 1], [1 7 3 1 2 2]};
for i = 1:length(CA)
idx = find(CA{i} == -10); % Find indices of -10 in CA{i}
for j = 1:length(idx)
if idx(j) > 1 && idx(j) < length(CC{i})
% Calculate the absolute difference of adjacent numbers in CC
difference = abs(CC{i}(idx(j) - 1) - CC{i}(idx(j) + 1));
% Add this difference to the corresponding element in CB
CB{i}(idx(j)) = CB{i}(idx(j)) + difference;
end
end
end
% Display the modified CB
disp(CB);
Explanation:
- Finding Indices:
- Use find(CA{i} == -10) to locate indices of -10 in each cell array within CA.
- For each index of -10, check if it is not the first or last element to ensure it has adjacent elements.
- Calculate the absolute difference between the adjacent elements in CC.
- Add the calculated difference to the corresponding element in CB.
