To sum all the elements in a matrix you usually do A = sum

To sum all the elements in a matrix you usually do

A = sum ( B(:) );

which is nice and short. However assume that we have a logical expression like this

B = B == 6 

and we want to sum the elements of all the entries, then smartest way seems to be to do

A = sum ( sum ( B == 6 ) )

or

B = B == 6;
A = sum( B(:) );

Both are kind of ugly. So I was wondering is there a nicer expression?

A = sum ( (B == 6)(:) );

Would be nice but doesn’t work.

    So what is so nasty about the simple solution…

    A = sum(B(:) == 6);
