Why does this loop create a horizontal array instead of a vertical array?

7 次查看(过去 30 天)
I know this may seem a really simple question but I just can't seem to work this one out when consulting the manual.
Within my code I have the following loop to work out the difference between sensor readings:
for i = 1 : size(xVal)
df([i]) = yVal(i+1) - yVal(i);
End
xVal is a line number and yVal is a sensor reading.
But for some reason, rather than creating a vertical array of difference values, a horizontal array is created and before it is complete MATLAB throws up an error stating "Index exceeds matrix dimensions" (I assume this error is because the horizontal array goes beyond a value MATLAB can handle.)
How can I change this loop so that a vertical array is created? (I also assume that this would overcome the "Index exceeds matrix dimensions" error?)
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Why don't you try it with the function diff? It's easier and very quickly...

Also you have to put the right dimension when you use size function, especially on a for
for i = 1 : size(xVal,1) % -> Rows

This is exactly what I have been looking for. I couldn't find this function in the manual!!!
Thank you.

Probably you have preallocated array df as maybe zeros(x,1). It should be:
df = zeros(1,x);
x is number of elements in array df
Hope it helps!!!
