MATLAB: How to remove for loop in the following code that change the entries of a given vector

for loopMATLABvectorizationvectors

Hello, I am trying to vectorize the following simple code
if true
A=[-1;3;0;-4];
B=zeros(size(A));
for i=1:4
if A(i)<0
B(i)=-(A(i));
elseif A(i)==0
B(i)=1;
else
B(i)=A(i);
end
B=B(:);
end
end
Please, how do I write the above code in such a way that there is no for loop, and still it works?

Try this:
A=[-1;3;-2;-4];
B = A;
B(A<0) = -A(A<0)
