How to campare index number of a matrix with other

1 view (last 30 days)
I have two array. A=[ 9 8 5 4 4 10] and B=[1 1 1 3 3 3 2 2 1 1]. Now, I want to campare A and B. The index number of each element in matrix B is same in matrix A. I want to represent the matrix A by the value of matrix B as its index number is same with. Now I want to represent matrix A as like B i.e. A will be A=[1 2 3 3 3 1]. How will write it code.

for i=1:numel(A)
A(i)=B(A(i));
end

"...the 'for loop' code gives a better understanding of what is happening in the background.
I disagree: MATLAB is a high-level language and array indexing is one of its most powerful features. Learning how to use array indexing is not more complex than a loop: Riks solution is simpler than this answer and more efficient.
Array indexing is required for any user who wants to learn how to use MATLAB effectively.

A=[ 9 8 5 4 4 10];
B=[1 1 1 3 3 3 2 2 1 1];
newA=B(A);
