matlab code to make values of an array in specific ranges(index positions) equal to zero

matlab code to make values of an array in specific ranges equal to zero

ex:

d=[1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13]

start_index_positions=[2 6 10]

end_index_positions=[4 8 12]

output:

d=[1 0 0 0 5 0 0 0 9 0 0 0 13]

Answer 1

[James Tursa]

for k=1:numel(start_index_positions)
    d(start_index_positions(k):end_index_positions(k)) = 0;
end

Answer 2

Hi, I hope this is want you want.

d=[1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13];
start_index_positions=[2 6 10];
end_index_positions=[4 8 12];
ranges = arrayfun(@(x,y) x:y,start_index_positions,end_index_positions,'UniformOutput',false);
d([ranges{:}]) = 0;
