Hi everyone,
Let's say
A= [2 5 4 3 5 7 5 6 8 2 8 4 3 1 4];
B= [1 3 4 7];
I need to find elements of A by using elements of B as indices of elements of A. In other words, I need 1st, 3rd, 4th and 7th elements of A and information of indices is given in B. Is this possible without using for loop? If yes, how? I am glad if you can help.

Matlab allows you to acces elements of a matrix in serveral ways. In your case, try this
A(B)
I have this results from Matalab
A(B)
ans =
2 4 3 5
, which is what you are looking for.
