create a new matrix with combining two matrices with the same size

3 views (last 30 days)
My aim is to create a new matrix which the same rows in matrix A and matrix B are zero. the same rows in matrix A which are zero, should also be zero in matrix C.
I want to create matrix C from matrix B.
A=
1 2
0 0
3 2
0 0
B=
7 2
3 6
4 5
2 6
C=
7 2
0 0
4 5

Is this what you are trying to do?
A=[1,2;0,0,;3,2;0,0]
B=[7,2;3,6;4,5;2,6]
C=B;
C(A==0)=0
Results in:
C =
7 2
0 0
4 5
0 0
This will work for all elements of A that are zero. If you only want to modify B if both elements in the row of A are zero this won't work.
Rather than guessing your intent I provided the simpler solution.

C=B
C(~any(A,2),:)=0

I put this in comments, it should have been in the 'Answers' section.
The question was not quite clear, but I think this might also work:
A=[1,2;0,0,;3,2;0,0]
B=[7,2;3,6;4,5;2,6]
C=B;
C(A==0)=0
Results in:
C =
7 2
0 0
4 5
0 0
This will create C by copying and modifying B for all elements of A that are zero. If you only want to modify B if both elements in the row of A are zero this won't work and you need to see Aziz's answer.
