MATLAB: How do i make a for loop picking out adjacent values of an 2D array

loopsMATLABmatrix

For example
I have the matrix
A= [1 3 4 7 3;
    5 4 3 7 2;
    9 8 6 5 2;
    9 6 3 1 6;
    2 9 6 8 5]
My current position is at A(3,3) which is equal to 6. How do I make a loop that will pick out the minimum adjacent values of 6 which are [7 5 1]

Best Answer

Assuming you actually meant [7; 5; 1] instead of [7 5 1], you can get the three elements in the column to the right of some specified element like this:
A = [1 3 4 7 3;
  5 4 3 7 2;
  9 8 6 5 2;
  9 6 3 1 6;
  2 9 6 8 5]
row = 3; % Whatever...
col = 3;
output = A(row-1:row+1, col+1)
