Counter in for loop is not working as expected

1 view (last 30 days)
I want the matrix to display [1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2.........5 times].
Nel=100
Neln=20
Nelnl1=5
Nelnl2=15
Code:
Mats=zeros(1,Nel);
for i=1:Nel
j=1;
if j<=Nelnl1
Mats(1,i)=1;
i=i+1;
j=j+1;
elseif j>Nelnl1&&j<=Nelnl2
Mats(1,i)=2;
i=i+1;
j=j+1;
end
end
Mats
Doesn't give me correct value. It just displays all 1's at the end.

You are alwasy filling 1 and 2 in the matrix...
Mats(1,i)=1;
Mats(1,i)=2;

Until you know matlab much better, and have very good reasons for doing so, you should adopt the rule that you never modify a for loop variable inside its for loop. Elsewhere I have described in detail how for loops work in MATLAB, but at this point you should just treat it as being an error to modify i within for i. (It is not actually an error, but it does not do what you expect and is very likely to be a source of bugs)

data1=ones(1,3);
data2=1+ones(1,5);
result=repmat([data1,data2],1,5)
