why doesn't my "if" statement work?

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
i have 2 columns that i am performing an element-wise foldchange analysis on columns A & B. if the result is less than 1 then the operation must be reversed. i have; 1. z=B./A % divide each element of B by corresponding A element 2. if z< 1 % if Z is less than 1 3. A./B*-1 % then divide A element by corresponding B element and multiply by -1 end
but i get no response from matlab. this should be easy but it's not. as always thanks for your time and input jb

You don't need an if statement, you can use logical indexing.
A = randn(8,1);
B = randn(8,1);
Z = B./A;
Z(Z<1) = A(Z<1)./B(Z<1).*(-1);

The way you have it, you will only get the if statement to be satisfied if all elements of z are less than one. If you are trying to do this element by element, you could implement a loop through z to just change the ones that are <1.
