IF statements do not pick out elements of an array like you are imagining that they do. When you write this:
if conditional
% Do something
end
for non-scalar conditional, the IF statement will pass if and only if all of the elements in conditional are true or non-zero. For example:
x = [1 2 3]; % All are non-zero, passes conditional...
if x
disp('In if')
end
but now change it to:
x = [1 2 0]; % All are not non-zero, fails conditional...
if x
disp('In if')
end
So the way you have to do what you want is either through logical indexing, or by single value through iteration.
% iteration approach - look at one value at a time!
x = [.1 .2 .3 .7 .8 .9 .1 .2 .3]; % Work with this array.
T = zeros(size(x)); % Make another array to fill up...
for ii = 1:length(x)
if x(ii)>.5
T(ii) = 99;
else
T(ii) = -100;
end
end
% Logical indexing approach
x = [.1 .2 .3 .7 .8 .9 .1 .2 .3]; % Work with this array.
T(x>.5) = 99;
T(x<=.5) = -100
