Helllo everyone
i have a problem to change element of array with iteration approach. refer to https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/8817-how-to-replace-the-elements-of-a-matrix-using-the-conditions-if-else , i have same problem but little different. for instance i have mut1 = [.11 .12 .13 .14 .15 .16 .17 .18 .19 .20] and constan number 0.5. i want to replace element of mut1 with 'random number between' if random number(rmi) < 0.5. so this is what iam doing.
mutC = zeros(size(mut1));
pm = 0.5;
for i = 1:numel(mut1)
rmi = rand(1,1)
rCm = rbC+(raC-rbC).*rand(1,1)
if rmi<pm
mutC = rCm
else
mutC = mut1
end
end
but the final result is always mutC = mut1. there is no number from rCm.
I will appreciate any help. thank you.

mutC = mut1;
[m,n] = size(mut1);
pm = 0.5;
rmi = rand(m,n);
rCm = rbC+(raC-rbC).*rand(m,n);
for i = 1:numel(mut1)
if rmi(i) < pm
mutC(i) = rCm(i);
end
end
or
pm = .5;
mutC = mut1;
[m,n] = size(mut1);
rCm = rbC+(raC-rbC).*rand(m,n);
lo = rand(m,n) < pm;
mutC(lo) = rCm(lo);

Andrei Answer is very clear.
The problem is
if rmi<pm
mutC = rCm
else
mutC = mut1
with these code, you replace the whole matrix, all the elements are replaced.
To avoid this, you need to replace only one elements step by step. Just add an subscipt 'i' to point the element to be repalced.
if rmi<pm
mutC(i) = rCm(i)
else
mutC(i) = mut1(i)

if rmi<pm
mutC(i) = rCm % change here, rCm is a number,not a matrix
else
mutC(i) = mut1(i)
