How to use if statements for a vector?

if choice==2
    fprintf('Converting Resistance to Color Bands');
    R = input('\n\nEnter the resistance in ohms as a vector: ');
%         if R(3:end)~=0
%         error('Invalid resistance entered. Program terminated.')
%         end
    ColorBand = Resist2Color(R);
    fprintf('The color bands for that resistance are %s, %s, and %s',ColorBand(1),ColorBand(2),ColorBand(3));
end

Here's my code, the part im having trouble with is the commented out section. For example, if R = [1 2 0 0] my code runs fine because the numbers after the first two columns are 0. However, if R = [0 1 0 5] my code still exceutes since MATLAB only cares if any number in my specified range is 0 and disregards those>0. How can I fix this so when there's any number after the first two that doesn't equal 0 the error pops up.

if any(R(3:end)~=0)

It happens that you can abbreviate that to

if any(R(3:end))

[Gavin Thompson]

Awesome, it worked! Do you by chance know to to make R = [1 2] work as well because currently I have it hardcoded to only work for arrays with a length of 3 or more?

The code already posted will execute successfully as false if R is length 2.
