making the code run in certain condition

for i=1:length(yearU)
    use=find(year==yearU(i));
    Rad_s=Rad(use);
    Rad_s1=Rad_s(~isnan(Rad_s));
    Rad_s1_sort=sort(Rad_s1, 'descend');
    ext_Rad(i,1)=mean(Rad_s1_sort(1:7));
end

figure (7)
plot(yearU, ext_Rad, '-or'); 
xlabel('Time'); ylabel('wettest five day temperature (C)'); 
set(gcf, 'PaperUnits', 'inches', 'PaperPosition', [0 0 12 8]);
print(gcf,'-dpng','-r300', ['fig7.png']);

at here, i want to give a make this run when the number of Rad is 5 or more. How should I write the code that gives this condition?

What variable do you mean? Do you mean numel(ext_Rad)>=5?

[Joo Seo Lee]

Yes. How should I write the code?

It sounds like you need an if statement. If you don't know how to use that you will probably benefit from a Matlab tutorial. I would suggest Onramp, which is provided for free by Mathworks.

Hi,

You can use the if condition available in MATLAB in order to execute the set of statements under certain condition.

As a workaround, place the if statement with the condition numel(ext_Rad)>=5 to execute the set of statements.

if numel(ext_Rad)>=5
    figure (7)
    plot(yearU, ext_Rad, '-or'); 
    xlabel('Time'); ylabel('wettest five day temperature (C)'); 
    set(gcf, 'PaperUnits', 'inches', 'PaperPosition', [0 0 12 8]);
    print(gcf,'-dpng','-r300', ['fig7.png']);
end

Hope this Helps !
