Question of Comparing two vectors

Hi there,

If we consider two vector a and b, they have the equal length and random generate from [-2,2]. Now I want to compare their each entry with each other, i.e., a(i) compare with b(i) and set the result as c(i), I want to find the maximum one between a(i) and b(i), with extra condition: I only want the valur within [0,1], i.e., if a(i)=0.5 and b(i)=1.5, as b(i) is greater than 1, then c(i) will be 0.5; but if a(i)=0.5 and b(i)=0.7, then c(i)=0.7.

Is there any efficiency way to perform this?

Thanks,

Charlie

1. If [-2,2] is range, what about all those <0 in a,b? Are they excluded from c?
2. If both a,b >1 or <0?

a(a<0 | a>1)=nan;
b(b<0 | b>1)=nan;

c=max(a,b);
