MATLAB: Find element index of one array which is equal to the values from another array

index of array

Given two arrays

A = [1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4,4];

B = [1,1,1,1,1,1,3,3,3,3];

return C=[1,2,3,4,5,6,11,12,13,14]

The first "3" in B is the 11th value in A.

The values in C is the index of the values in B which exist in A.

Any suggestions?

A = [1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4,4];
B = [1,1,1,1,1,1,3,3,3,3];
u=unique(B);
C=[];
for i=1:numel(u)
    C=[C find(A==u(i))];
end

A more elegant solution probably exists but this will work.

MATLAB: From a=[1 2 3 4] to b=[1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4]

b = repelem(a,2)

MATLAB: Else if inside for loop.

 for i=1:numel(u)
        Bxcf(i)= (((1.2566e-6 * I)/(4* pi * dxc(i))) * (1.8/(sqrt((dxc(i))^2+((1.8^2)/4)))));
     for i=1:numel(u)
        Bx1(i)= (((1.2566e-6 * I4(i))/(4* pi * dx1(i))) * (1.8/(sqrt((dx1(i))^2+((1.8^2)/4)))));
     end
      for i=1:numel(u)
        Bx2(i)= (((1.2566e-6 * I5(i))/(4* pi * dx2(i))) * (1.8/(sqrt((dx2(i))^2+((1.8^2)/4)))));
      end
      for i=1:numel(u)
        Bx3(i)= (((1.2566e-6 * I6(i))/(4* pi * dx3(i))) * (1.8/(sqrt((dx3(i))^2+((1.8^2)/4)))));
      end
   end

There are two problems and one opportunity here. First, using the same variable for the outermost loop and the inner loops is not a good idea. Second, you're computing all of Bx1, Bx2, and Bx3 during each iteration of the outer loop, meaning you're doing a lot of repetitive computations. And finally, you could vectorize these computations and avoid the loops entirely. [Pay particular attention to the "Array Operations" section on that page.]

snipped more of the code

 for i=1:numel(v)
 y2(i) = abs(p1* abs(v(i)*100)^4 + p2* abs(v(i)*100)^3 + p3*abs(v(i)*100)^2 + p4*abs(v(i)*100) + p5)/3.83;
 Bm2(i) = y2(i) * Bm1;
 end

This too looks like it can be vectorized.

if abs(r1) >= 0.8 
for i= 1:numel(u)
if abs(v(i)) == r1 && u(i)==0
 y2(i) = abs(p1* abs(v(i)*100)^4 + p2* abs(v(i)*100)^3 + p3*abs(v(i)*100)^2 + p4*abs(v(i)*100) + p5)/3.83;
 
Bx(i)=y2(i) * Bm1;
elseif u(i) ~=0
y3 = abs((p11* abs(u(i))^3 + p12*abs(u(i))^2 + p13*abs(u(i)) + p14)/ (y2(i) * Bm1) *10^-6) ;
    Bx(i) = abs(y3*10^-7);
end
 
elseif abs(r1) < 0.8 
Bx(i)= Bcx;
end 
end

This is invalid code. If you copy it into the MATLAB Editor (if you're not already working in MATLAB Editor) and smart indent it, you'll see that the second elseif statement is inside the for loop while the if with which it's paired is outside the for loop. You need to either pull that second elseif statement outside the loop or pull the initial if statement inside the loop. Since the body of the elseif statement depends on the loop variable I'm guessing you want to pull the if statement inside the for loop.

You should also decide what you want Bx to contain in the case where abs(r1) is neither greater than or equal to 0.8 nor less than 0.8. NaN is not greater than, not less than, and not equal to 0.8.
