Select values from martix with an absolute value and set them to zero.

So I'm having trouble with this, my goal is to select values from my random 6x6 matrix (ranging from [-10,10]) with an absolute value of 5 and set them equal to zero.

Any advice, I'm new to Matlab as of recently and don't know what I'm doing half the time.

Like this?

A = randi([-10 10],6);  % 6x6 matrix (ranging from [-10,10])
idx = abs(A) == 5;      % Find elements whose absolute value == 5
A(idx) = 0;             % Set them to 0
