Hello,
Yes, there is. You can refer this simple example
A = [1 2; 0 3]
[rows,cols,vals] = find(A==0)

Thank you is there a simple way to make it such that
i determine which row to find
for example in your example
i want to type the row number and it gives me the index(2,2) for the non zero element
hope this clears things up

Select the row, then use find:
A = [1 3 0; 2 0 4; 0 7 9]
DesiredRow = 2
cix = find(A(DesiredRow,:) ~= 0)
so:
A =
1 3 0
2 0 4
0 7 9
DesiredRow =
2
cix =
1 3
