How can I calculate average of two values using a for loop

39 views (last 30 days)
I have to calculate the average of two numbers in different columns but are in the same row. This then has to be repeated for the other 20 rows of numbers I have finding the average between the two numbers.
for ii = 1:20
PTS = {539 1220 996 1485 1938 2019 2461 1557 1819 2832 2430 2323 2201 1970 2078 1616 2133 83 782 1161}
G = {71 79 50 66 68 80 82 65 66 80 77 82 82 73 82 58 78 6 35 66}
ave = PTS./G
end

Each number in the PTS cell array corresponds to the number in G so 539 divided by 71 to get the average and so on for the rest of the numbers

Why you are dealing with cell array, you cal do same with array, By the way ave = PTS./G is not the average
PTS = {539 1220 996 1485 1938 2019 2461 1557 1819 2832 2430 2323 2201 1970 2078 1616 2133 83 782 1161}
G = {71 79 50 66 68 80 82 65 66 80 77 82 82 73 82 58 78 6 35 66}
for ii=1:length(PTS)
ave{ii} = PTS{ii}/G{ii}
end
Array
PTS =[539 1220 996 1485 1938 2019 2461 1557 1819 2832 2430 2323 2201 1970 2078 1616 2133 83 782 1161]
G = [71 79 50 66 68 80 82 65 66 80 77 82 82 73 82 58 78 6 35 66]
for ii=1:length(PTS)
ave(ii)= PTS(ii)/G(ii})
end

I am trying to calculate the average points per season using the equation average = points / games

This is a version without a for loop
ave = [PTS{:}]./[G{:}];
