for i=1:1:n
temp_rand=rand;
if(temp_rand<= some condition)
count_n=count_n+1;
S(i).type='C';
C(cc).xd=S(i).xd;
C(cc).yd=S(i).yd;
plot(S(i).xd,S(i).yd,'*');
cc=cc+1;
In the above code some nodes are selected from randomly distributed nodes which satisfy the temp_rand condition. Please anyone help me how to find out distance between these randomly nodes only.

rem - so you want to find the distances between all nodes in the C matrix? Or do you want to find the distance between a different set of nodes?

xt = [CC.xd]; yt = [CC.yd];
distances = squareform( pdist([xt(:), yt(:)]) );

rem - wouldn't the distances be calculated something like the following
distancesBetweenNodes = zeros(length(C)); % square matrix
for k = 1:length(C)
for j = k+1:length(C)
dist = sqrt((C(k).xd - C(j).xd)^2 + (C(k).yd - C(j).yd)^2); % use your own distance measure here
distancesBetweenNodes(k,j) = dist;
distancesBetweenNodes(j,k) = dist; % matrix is symmetric
end
end
