MATLAB: Perform same command separately on all items in a matrix

arraysrandomization

Hi gang,

I have a pretty basic question that I can't figure out the answer to. I need to randomly assign a value 2, 3, or 4 (in this case its an orientation) to twelve different variables B1-B12, and I would like to avoid doing this:

B1 = randsample(Orient([2 3 4]),1);
B2 = randsample(Orient([2 3 4]),1);
B3 = randsample(Orient([2 3 4]),1);
B4 = randsample(Orient([2 3 4]),1);
etc...

I essentially just need a more efficient way of doing this. Would it be possible to set up an array B1-B12 and apply the randsample command to the entire array? Thanks in advance.

Josh

MATLAB: How to instantly substitute all the Ai_j of a symbolic matrix A

SUBS lets you specify a symbolic matrix for substitution. See the description of the input argument named "old" (particularly the types of inputs accepted for that argument) in the Inputs section of its documentation page.

 A = sym('A', [3 3], 'real');
 B = A^2; % I don't recommend using INV, so I'll use squaring instead
 M = reshape(randperm(9), 3, 3); % arbitrary data to be substituted
 s1 = subs(B, A, M);
 s2 = M^2;
 isequal(double(s1), s2) % should return true

MATLAB: Remove Items

You have to get the 'String' value of the listbox, which will be a cell array.

currentItems = get(hListbox, 'String');

Set the row for the item you want to remove equal to[].

newItems = currentItems;
newItems(rowToDelete) = []; % Or something like that - maybe it's {}

Then send the cell array back to the listbox with the

set(hListbox, 'String', newItems)

function.
