How can I only swap the first and last element of a vector?

The vector I have is [-5 4 -4 6 8 -3], so how could I use a code/piece of script to get [-3 4 -4 6 8 -5]?

Answer 1

Simply in one line:

>> V = [-5,4,-4,6,8,-3];
>> V([end,1]) = V([1,end])
V =
  -3   4  -4   6   8  -5

it is only showing the elements that are switched not the whole vector. Any help?

[Stephen23]

Because you are not calling the syntax that I showed in my answer. When you call this:

V([1,end])

then it will simply the return that indices that you select. That is how indexing works, essentially by definition. You asked MATLAB for the first and last elements, so that is what it is giving you.

I understand now, my fault.

a=[-5 4 -4 6 8 -3];
b=a;
b(1)=a(length(a));
b(length(a))=a(1,1);
