MATLAB: Hey matlab community. How to do data sorting without using loop instruction and and without using sort instruction. Please help

Question

i'm having no clue..

Answer 1

recursion can be used to replace a loop. It is usually aa bit awkward to do so but it is possible .

Instead of

for kk=1:length(VV); result(kk) = ff(VV(kk)); end

you can use

function result = recurseme(VV)

if isempty(VV ); result = []; else; result = [ff(VV(1)), recurseme(VV(2:end))]; end

I do not recommend this approach in MATLAB (but it is good in a language named SCHEME ), but if you really are given an assignment that cannot use any looping then recursion is what you do instead .
