Question

I have a rather simplistic example that I would like to learn the best possible solution for. I have a data set:

depth = [0:0.5:20];

I want to only select ‘depth’ from a specific range, for example from 2 to 5. I can do this by:

d1 = find(depth == 2,1,'first');
d2 = find(depth == 5,1,'first');
depth = depth(d1:d2);

Is there an alternative, cleaner way of doing this?

Answer 1

just use logical indexing:

 depth(depth >= 2 & depth <= 5)
