Hi, how can i replace zero values in a matrix by the first occurring non-zero value in that matrix if you would loop backwards in each column? I.e. how can i carry forward a value as long as its next value in the same column is zero (without looping through each value in the matrix!)
Example: m_start = [3;0;0;4;0;5] replace_non_zero_values (m_start) = [3;3;3;4;4;5]
Hope you can help, thanks very much! Steven

>> M = [3;0;0;4;0;5];
>> idx = M~=0;
>> tmp = M(idx);
>> tmp(cumsum(idx))
ans =
3
3
3
4
4
5
Note this assumes that the first value is nonzero. You will need to think of how to deal with leading zeros!
