Question about variable in a vector.
1 view (last 30 days)
Show older comments
a part of my program has syntax that looks like this, btw, my goal is to display an error message if i inserted a non-integer value to a vector.
for n=1:1:A1
if (Z(n)<3 | Z(n)>9 | Z(n)~=Z(n))
disp('One or more of the element/s is/are not included.');
return;
elseif ~isnumeric(Z(n))
disp('There is error')
return;
end
end
so if i enter:
function_name ([3 4 A], [4 5 6])
matlab says: Undefined function or variable 'A'.
what should i do for it to run and just display an error message.

[EDITED, Jan, code formatted. @James Ortiz: please use one of the many tutorials to learn how to do this by your own. Thanks!]

You cannot rely on mixing types in a regular array.
[3 4 A]
may return an error message if A is not defined, or if A is not numeric.
A = 6;
[3 4 A] % No error.
As Azzi points out, Z(n) is always equal to Z(n) unless Z(n) is a nan. If you want to deal with nans, use isequalwithequalnans.

Fine, thanks. Please post comments to comments as comments and not as answer of a question.
