MATLAB: Remove a number and its duplicates, not just the repeated values i.e. the way the unique function operates

matrix manipulationrepeated entriessortingvectors

Hi, I am trying to remove both the number itself and its duplicates from my matrix. For example if A was the matrix (column vector in this case but could be a matrix in the future) shown below, I wish to remove all the 2's and 3's from it, but unique(A); would just remove the second 2 and 3 respectively. I use this matrix as an example but it could be any number that is duplicated any number of times. I would like to remove both the number and its repeats from the matrix (vector). Thanks for all tips and information. Lemme know if any clarification is needed.

 A = [2;2;4;3;3;5;6];

MATLAB: I am trying to randomly disperse different numbers in MATLAB array:

V = ones(1,10)
V(1:4) = 2 
V(5:6) = 3
V = V(randperm(numel(V))) % randomize the order initially
% change four 1's into two 2's and two 3's
idx = find(V==1) % where are the 1's
idx = idx(randperm(numel(idx)))
V(idx(1:4)) = [2 2 3 3]

MATLAB: Problem with multiple inputs

for i=1:nargin

nargin is the number of all inputs. For Untitled(a,varargin) thenumber of inputs is 1 larger than the size of varargin.

Try:

for i = 1:numel(varargin)
% or
for i = 1:nargin - 1

Hint: Omit the "i=i+1", which is useless. The loop counter is increased by the for command. It does not produce an error here, because i is not used after this line, but it is confusing. See

for k = 1:5
    fprintf('k = %d\n', k);
    k = k + 1000;
    fprintf('modificed k = %d\n', k);
end
