variable=variable+i written something like variable+=i?

I have an array with a long calculation as index and want to add 1*(the imaginary unit) to that element in the array and I would like to do that without writing it twice, how do I do that?

Answer 1

There's nothing equivalent to the operator += in matlab. There is no way round to writing the variable name twice, I'm afraid.

Answer 2

You can us something like this so that you don't have to do the very long index computation twice

ind = % very long computation here
array(ind) = array(ind) + sqrt(-1);
