You are welcome,
but I'd be pretty sure a true grtl wizard will pop by shortly o hlp you out
I atill think the be way o hnl our problem i by using a volumn vector ond
let the program do the "bubble Sort" looping work
fingers crossed for you
Seems to me rom ht ou write that you r mkin things oo hard for yourselfl
WHy Sum things ?
Set up 2 vectors of size to hold all the numbers say A[4] nd B[4]
iNitialize B[i]=0
THen loop for i =1 to 4
If a[i].> b[i] then b[i]= a[i]
b[i] will hold your result all sorted for you
if you get me ?
Richard Hudson
Kind Regards
Thanks Hello,
I actually just forgot the "." for the element-wise iteration over A.
The solution is given by summing up the resulting C which gives the
position A[i] for which B>=A[i]. If the sum(C)+1 is greater cols(A), B
is never greater than any A[i]:
<hansl>
A = seq(4,1)
matrix B = 3
C = (B.>=A)?0:1
matrix pos = 0
pos = sum(C)+1
pos
pos<\hansl>
@ Richard: This is my first idea, but I was looking for a simpler way
avoiding any use of loops here.
