ANY Any True Function
Section: Elementary Functions
Usage
Reduces a logical array along a given dimension by testing for any logical 1s. The general syntax for its use isy = any(x,d)
where x
is an n
-dimensions array of logical
type.
The output is of logical
type. The argument d
is
optional, and denotes the dimension along which to operate.
The output y
is the same size as x
, except that it is
singular along the operated direction. So, for example,
if x
is a 3 x 3 x 4
array, and we any
operation along
dimension d=2
, then the output is of size 3 x 1 x 4
.
Function Internals
The output is computed via
If d
is omitted, then the summation is taken along the
first non-singleton dimension of x
.
Example
The following piece of code demonstrates various uses of the summation function--> A = [1,0,0;1,0,0;0,0,1] A = 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1
We start by calling any
without a dimension argument, in which
case it defaults to the first nonsingular dimension (in this case,
along the columns or d = 1
).
--> any(A) ans = 1 0 1
Next, we apply the any
operation along the rows.
--> any(A,2) ans = 1 1 1
