How do I solve the following problem with rounding?

1 view (last 30 days)
I run the following code:
clear all
x=-2:0.1:2;
find(x==0.9)
I get:
ans = Empty matrix: 1-by-0
How can I fix this problem? The version I use is R2013a.
Thanks! niko

Avoid the clear all, because this is more brute than useful.
This is one of the most frequently asked questions. I suggest to read the other ones also: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ

Please try this:
x=-2:0.1:2;
find(abs(x-0.9) < eps)
ans =
30

You can use a tolerance :
find(abs(x-0.9) < tol)
