Suppose I have two matrices A and x as follows:
x =
1 2 2 3
A =
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Each row of x contains the row and column indices of an element of A that I would like to access and change. In the above example, I want to change the (1,2) and (2,3) elements of A. Suppose I want to set the value of these elements to 5. The command 'A([1 2],[2 3]) = 5;' produces A =
1 5 5 1 1 5 5 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
However, what I want is the following:
A =
1 5 1 1 1 1 5 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
In my actual code, A and x may have thousands of elements each. Therefore, I am wondering whether it is possible to do this without using a for loop?
