Decrementing an Array

Hi,
I am new to Matlab and i am trying to decrement a simple array. I want every element to arrives at zero and no negative. The problem is once any element of the array arrives at zero the decrement stops, i have tried to use several combination but nothing works. It goes like this
n=[8 5 9 3 6 11]
if n~=0
n=n-1
end.
As soon as the the value '3' arrives at zero the decrement stops. I have also used "sum" but it didn't work either. For instance while sum~=0, do the decrement but it didn't work either. I know its a simple task but i am stuck.

Edited in response to your comment:
while not(all(n==0))
n = max(0,n-1)
end
Wanted to keep this all in one answer. I have edited my response again, but left the old one. In the code below, I have inserted an if statement that will be entered only when an element of n has just been decremented to zero, as you mentioned you wanted in a comment on andrei's answer.
(I also implemented Jan's simpler syntax for the while loop.)
n0 = [8 5 9 3 6 11];
n = n0;
iter = 0;
while any(n)
iter = iter+1;
n = max(0,n-1)
if any(iter==n0);
% If I am here, it is because one of the original element just reached zero
% Do stuff
end
end

n = n-min(n(:));
?
And the way to fix your if statement is to use any as the criterion.
while ~any(n==0)
n = n-1;
end

Hi
I have kind of similar problem but I am using 3x4 array. How should I do it in this situation. In brief I want to apply an formula in each cell and increment to the next one until all cells are updated. Please help

You should probably ask a new question, rather than add a comment to a 4-year-old question.
