Vector inside another vector

Hi! I have a vector S = [0 1 2 3 4 ... 30]' and now i want to create another vector U that is equal to 0 if K<S and equal to S if K>=S. In my exercise K=15.

I did this:

U1=zeros(30,1);

U1(15,30)=S;

Can you please help me? Thanks

So U will always be a column vector the same size as 'S' and it will always be either full of 0s or it will match the "S" vector (depending on the value of K which will always be a single number (scalar)). Is that correct?

[Alex Mcaulley]

Your problem is not difficult. You just need to take a look to logical indexing in Matlab. For example:

logical indexing

matrix indexing

[José Campelo]

Correct. Basically what I want is that U be a column with 0 until the 14th position and then 15, 16, 17 etc until 30.

S =(0:30)';
k = 15; 

U = S .* (S>=k);

People don’t do homeworks here. Index K>=S to U1 lhs and S rhs by equating against each other. Since it’s your homework see Alex’s links above and experiment.

My homework detectors didn't go off on this one.

XD sometimes it doesn’t even in mine, maybe a bug xd.
