For each loop upon fixed size array

Hi guys,

I have three variable x y z that are integer values and for instance its values are :

x=5 , y=2 , z=3;

and I have an array called A equal to A=[x y z]

I want to do for each loop upon the array A and adding +1 for every iteration of the for each loop .

I came from world of c world and rarely I use matlab (it depends on what do I want to implement ) .. how can I do that in matlab?

thanks alot for any help .

for k=1:100
    A=A+1;
end

thanks, but lets assume that I want to compare between each two values of the array by for each loop? I mean

for each loop upon array A values
     if (A > A++ ) % this statement is about comparing A(i) > A(i+1) but I want by for each loop and not by indexes .. 
           %do something

how can I do that in matlab by for each loop to Pass/Run over the values of the array? I mean for each loop ..not by indexes (A(i))

Why by a for loop instead of by using the diff() or conv2() function?

[Jimmy cho]

Can't I do that in matlab? for instance in python ..and the reason is that foreach it's more elegant that using idexes.

another question in the context, lets assume I have array A=[x y z ] and x , y , z as I said in my thread above is integer values, how I pass/run over A array by foreach in matlab code?

just like this:

for m:A
%do something with m / do arithmatic with m , m is the value of array A and next value of array A updated to m at each iteration
end

Well most MATLABers would think

result = diff(A) > 0;

is more elegant than using for or foreach. The diff() function subtracts the kth element from the (k+1)st element.

result is a logical matrix giving essentially a "map" of what elements are greater than the prior element.

Another option

Acopy = A; % Make copy of original
for k = 1 : 100
    Acopy = A + k;
end

The original A does not get changed, however Acopy still gets overwritten at each iteration.

" Acopy = A + k " in this statement the A is changed at every iteration to the next value organizedly ? I mean first value at 1, then next iteration value at 2 , then next iteration value at 3 ?

[Jimmy cho]

If I understand you well, if I do this:

for k = 1 : 100

m = A ;

end

so every value of A will be copied / stored to m correspondingly , yes?

Implicitly A is going to the next value at every iteration
