Switch

Does matlab consider a complex number a vector, since i tried to make a switch, with a complex number being the decision making element and i got an error...i am going to solve the error, but i need to know if it is not caused by the a matlab compiler definition: complex number = vector ?

No, a complex number is 1x1 in MATLAB, not 2x1

Can you provide an example of where your switch fails?

   z = 1+1j;
   switch z
   case 1+1j
   disp('This executes');
   case 1+1j*2
   disp('This does not');
   end

Hello, I am demapping complex symbols into bits, so i was using a configuration much like the example you gave but ive been fighting with it and it keeps saying that 'z'(in ur example,) is not a scalar and thus gives an error.

ive since switched to using an if statement=>

can you please look at my other question
