Using an empty matrix as an Index

I can't find any documentation about this so I don't understand why matlab doesn't consider using an empty matrix as an index an error worthy event.
x = [3,4];
y = find(x = 0); % returns an empty matrix
i(y) = 0; % returns i = []
Is there a reason for this? It took me quite a while to realize this was causing problems in my program and when I did discover the behavior, I had a momentary thought that I was using perl instead of matlab.

What do you expect it to return? If it's not being indexed by anything then it shouldn't extract anything. Perhaps this will look slightly better:
X = magic(5)
X(2:1,:)

Yes. It is a useful part of MATLAB.

Exactly. The posted code does this:
Create a variable "i", which have all elements of the index vector set to 0. If the index vector is empty, "i" must be empty also.

x = [3,4]; y = find(x = 0); % returns an empty matrix i(y) = 0; It should be == instead of = y = find(x == 0); % returns an empty matrix
Now, it will work... Enjoy !!
