MATLAB: If x==2.4 not working

decimalif statementintegerMATLAB

* **TP1=2.4;** *
for l=1:50
TP(l)=0.1*l;
if TP(l)==TP1
........................................................
This is a small part of my program. i believe the if statement is not being executed for some reason. Further, if I put it equal to an integer (i.e. TP(l)==2) then it works. I want it to work with 2.4. Please help. If whole of the program needs to be posted, please tell. Thanks. 🙂

Best Answer

You can use some tolerance
out=0
tol=1e-5
for l=1:50
TP(l)=0.1*l;
if abs(TP(l)-2.4)<tol
out=TP(l)
end
end
