how to count the number of non zero elements present in each row and column.

If a=[3.6910 4.5873 0 0 0;

0 7.2707 0 0 3.7516;

0 0 0 0 0]

I want to count the number of non zero elements present in every row and column

I tried with the following command numel(a) where it gives the entire number of elements present in a.

Could anyone please help me on this.

Try this

zerosInColumn = sum(a ~= 0, 1);
zerosInRow = sum(a ~= 0, 2);
