Hi,
How can I calculate the number of nonzero rows in a matrix?
I have
B =
3 4
5 0
0 0
and the number of nonzero rows (that I need) is 2. (because the 2nd row has the element of '5')
I tried sum( all( B ~= 0, 2 ) ); but the answer is 1.

>> nnz(any(B,2))
ans = 2

the way to go, but if you insist on using ALL, try
nnz(~all(B,2))

Use any instead of all. Your code is counting rows in which all entries are non-zero.
