How to find all the even numbers in a vector?

Say we have a vector x=[ 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 ] and I want to find all the even numbers but subtract is by 1 so that the vector will only contain odd numbers. How would I do that?

Try this:
% Create sample data.
x = [ 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 ]
% Find indices where x is even:
evenIndices = rem(x, 2) == 0
% Extract only the even numbers into a new vector.
allTheEvenNumbers = x(evenIndices)
% Now subtract 1 from that.
allTheEvenNumbers = allTheEvenNumbers - 1
In the command window, you'll see:
x =
1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 4
evenIndices =
0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1
allTheEvenNumbers =
2 2 2 2 4 4 4
allTheEvenNumbers =
1 1 1 1 3 3 3

Please mark the best answer as "Accepted" when you're done with a discussion. Also, next time, tag the post as "homework" so we can answer appropriately and don't put you at risk of your instructor or plagiarism detectors some schools use finding out that you just had us solve the problem. We wouldn't want you to get in trouble.
