MATLAB Help
You are currently reading a thread in /sci/ - Science & Math
I cant seem to figure this out, and I always overthink stuff when it comes to programming and MATLAB, but any help would be amazing.
Two Gymnasts are competing with each other.
How do I write a program that uses find to determine how many events each gymnast won.
gym1=[9.821
9.923
9.624
9.432
9.534
9.203]
gym2=[9.700
9.925
9.83
9.987
9.354
9.879]

I guess the vectors are something like the time they ran so the one with the lower number won? Just define to variables to denote the number of times each Gymnast won and the interate over the entries of the vectors and increase the variable of whoever has the lower entry.
Im not gonna write the code for you, because it´s your homework.
Lol MATLAB

It is whoever has the highest score, I understand what you are saying, but how would I write that with the vectors? would i just be like vault1=find(gym1:1,gym2:2) ? I just dont understand how you write this piece.

yeah fuck matlab, this shit isnt anything close to fun, plus the instructor is trash and the SI is about the same. Everything with this is so fucking vague all the time.

The last time I had to write Matlab code was some time ago, so maybe theres an easier way to do this. As far as I remember you can just write something like
if (gym1(i)>gmy2(i))
x_1=x_1+1;
elseif (gym1(i)>gmy2(i))
x_2=x_2+1;
>>7649076
I meant
elseif (gym1(i)<gmy2(i))
for the second condition of course.

the number of positive numbers in gym1-gym2 is how many events gym1 won, the number of negative numbers is how many gym2 won
gym1_wins = sum(gym1 - gym2 > 0);
gym2_wins = sum(gym1 - gym2 < 0);
ties = sum(gym1 - gym2 == 0);
>not just using boolean comparisons
this is literally a 1loc question

our answers solve the problem OP specified.
if OP left out details, that's not our problem
I know it is a waste of time, You guys explained everything amazingly. I was just overthinking this way too fucking hard like I always do with programming stuff. Thankyou again, I really appreciate it!

a good rule of thumb is that if you're using a for-loop in matlab you're doing something wrong
m=numel(gym1)
win1=zeros(m);
n=1;
while n<=m
if gym1(n)<gym2(n)
win1(n)=1;
end
n=n+1;
end

just no
non related to matlab, c# algo
gym1.Select((value, i) => value - gym2[i]);
Values = 0, tie
Values > 0, gym1 wins
Values < 0, gym2 wins
easy intersecting index loop
NEVER USE LOOPS IN MATLAB UNLESS YOU REALLY HAVE TO.

Not that Anon, but what he's doing is similar to the comparto method in comparable interface and the compare method in comparator Interface.
His method is actually better because it builds a better fundamental understanding of comparing elements. Later on when comparing objects his method will work, and yours will not.
