How to fill just such successive elements in row of matrix?

31 views (last 30 days)
Hello!
i have matrix A (733*3600) randomly generated containing such values,i have a condition , if the value of element (i,j)=k, i want to fill another matrix B starting from element(i,j) until another specific element with a condition to not exceed array bounds.
for example i have k=50
in matrix B , i will fill 500 succesive elements starting from element with value k=50 in matrix A.
for the succesive elements , i want to stop until the limit of number of columns.
i already have a code to not exceed array bounds in this link https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/1799345-how-to-put-condition-in-rows-and-columns-for-not-exceed-array-bounds?s_tid=srchtitle , i tried to fill elements one by one ,but it is hard to apply it now with number of columns so large.
i hope that you could help me!
thanks

"to fill another matrix B starting from element(i,j) until another specific element "
What about multiple locations match in a given row? Take first, last, all matches and start from there or what???

@dpb the based matrix contains in each row just one value, the rest all zeros. i want to fill another matrix starting by the position of this element until specific column. i posted my code in this link may could more understand.

A = [ 0 50 0 0 0
0 0 50 0 0
0 0 50 0 0
0 0 0 50 0];
S = linspace(1,4,4);
T = 2;
B = zeros(size(A));
for i = 1:size(A,1)
jstart = find(A(i,:)==50,1);
jend = min(jstart+numel(S)-1,size(A,2));
B(i,jstart:jend) = (50*S(1:jend-jstart+1))/T;
end
B
B = 4×5
0 25 50 75 100 0 0 25 50 75 0 0 25 50 75 0 0 0 25 50

Consider for example,
A(i : min(i+k-1, end), j)
This would refer to at most k consecutive rows starting at row i but would stop at the array boundary.

@Walter Roberson i will explain you the code may could more understand
i created a vector from 1 to 720 element.
S=linspace(1,720,720)
i already have a matrix A(1826*3600) randomly generated contains such values.
i wrote this code to fill another matrix P.
for i=1:1826
for j=1:3600
for k=1:720
if A(i,j)==50
P(i,j)=(50*S(k))/3600;
else P(i,j)=0;
end
end
end
end
for matrix P , i want to fill just 720 columns, starting by the one having the specific value in matrix A, and we will stop until the bounds of array.

Is this what you want?
A=[9, 50, 18 3;
11 7 50 10;
1 2 3 50;
50 3 4 5]
A = 4×4
9 50 18 3 11 7 50 10 1 2 3 50 50 3 4 5
B=cumsum(A==50,2)*50
B = 4×4
0 50 50 50 0 0 50 50 0 0 0 50 50 50 50 50
C=B+~B.*A
C = 4×4
9 50 50 50 11 7 50 50 1 2 3 50 50 50 50 50

@Matt J Hello!
Matrix A is already generated, in each row there is just one value and other elements are "0". for example
A [ 0 50 0 0 0
0 0 50 0 0
0 0 50 0 0
0 0 0 50 0]
Now i want to fill specific columns in matrix B. So i generated a vector contains the number of elements i want to fill. for example 4 elements
S=linspace(1,4,4)
for i=1:4
for j=1:5
for k=1:4
if A(i,j)==50
B(i,j)=(50*S(k))/T; %T is a value
else B(i,j)=0;
end
the result will be like this for T=2
S=[1 2 3 4]
B [ 0 25 50 75 100
0 0 25 50 75
0 0 25 50 75
0 0 0 25 75]
i want that elements can't exceed the bounds of matrix.
