MATLAB: Basic function to find value

Question

Hi, I have the following function which should consume a row vector and return a value of 1, if non of the elements are 0 in the vector. If an element is 0, it should return 0.

AllNonZero(a);
function AllNonZero(a)     
if all(a ~= 0)
    true(1)
else
    false(0)
end
end 

I am trying to call this function from the command window as,

AllNonZero([random_vector])

where the random_vector is any arbitrary vector. However, I get the following error,

Attempt to execute SCRIPT AllNonZero as a function:
C:\Users\fluxw\OneDrive\Documents\MATLAB\AllNonZero.m

When I run it simply as "AllNonZero" I get an output of,

AllNonZero
ans =
  0×0 empty logical array
  

I am a beginner so any advice would be helpful. Thank you.

Answer 1

Use any() instead of all()

% Returns 0 if any elmeents are zero, 1 otherwise.
function tf = AllNonZero(vec)     
tf = ~any(vec == 0)
