I want to rounding selected data with Looping and If else

1 view (last 30 days)
I have workspace variable "a" which there is a 510x1 matrix data inside like this
I want to change cell containing 10+ only (like 10.0299, 10.0419, 10.0064,.......) change to be 10.0000. And this is my program code and I use rounding function to make 10,+ data change to be 10.0000
n=length(a);
for i=1:n
if(a > 0 & a < 10)
v=(round(a,0))
else
v=a
end
end
After I run the program, there is no change on "a" data (still like that picture), and if I switch "v=(round(a,0))" and "v=a" position and run it, all data in matrix are rounded like 9.0000; 10,0000;....... what's wrong with my code? thank you

" want to change cell containing 10+ only (like 10.0299, 10.0419, 10.0064,.......) change to be 10.0000"
The very simple and very efficient MATLAB approach:
a = min(10,a)
Any other code you can come up with will be slower and more complex than that.

It's not really clear what the desired conditions are.
If what you want is to constrain values to the interval [0 10], you can do that like so:
A = [-1.2 1.2 8.5 12.5];
% using min(max())
B = min(max(A,0),10)
B = 1×4
0 1.2000 8.5000 10.0000
% or using imclamp() (attached)
B = imclamp(A,[0 10])
B = 1×4
0 1.2000 8.5000 10.0000
This keeps values inside the interval unchanged.
Both of these examples do the same thing. The only difference is that the latter is easier to read and less prone to mistakes.
If you only need a one-sided constraint, you can use min() by itself

a = rand(1)*randi([5 25],510,1)
a = 510×1
5.4417 18.1391 18.1391 9.0696 8.1626 7.2557 10.8835 14.5113 16.3252 17.2322
n=length(a);
for i=1:n
if(a(i) > 0 & a(i) < 10)
a(i) = a(i);
else
a(i) = round(a(i),0);
end
end
a
a = 510×1
5.4417 18.0000 18.0000 9.0696 8.1626 7.2557 11.0000 15.0000 16.0000 17.0000
Use the round function shown as above.

Also, when you use a directly in the if-else condition , it refers to all elements in the vector at once.
You need to access individual elements one by one and then round them
