MATLAB: Assigning values to vectors of different lenghts

assigndifferent lengthsvector

Hello,

I've got three vectors, say a(1×4), b(1×4) and c(1×10). Vectors a and c represent the same thing, they are just codes. Vector b let's say it's my objective function.

a = [1 2 3 4]

b = [0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4]

c= [ 4 4 4 2 2 1 3 3 1 4].

I want to get another vector d, which will have the same dimensions as vector d (10×1) and in which the values of vector b will be assigned.

d should be like d = [0.4 0.4 0.4 0.2 0.2 0.1 0.3 0.3 0.1 0.4].

Any thoughts on this?

Many thanks

Hi,

if your starting point is that you have a and c you can make d from b as

[~,idx] = ismember(c,a);
d = b(idx);
>> d
d =
      0.4000    0.4000    0.4000    0.2000    0.2000    0.1000    0.3000    0.3000    0.1000    0.4000

Since your t matrix is full of 0 and 1 you can take advantage of that and just do this

a = [0.9 0.8 0.7 0.6 0.5];
b = [0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5];
t = ff2n(n);
t1 = t.*a
