put the result in one matrix

Hi,I have ,w=[2 4 4 1 1].

for i=1:length(w)
x=find(w==w(i))
end
this code gives this result:x=[1]',x=[2 3]',x=[4 5]',x=[4 5]',in each iteration.
I want the result to be x=1 0 0 0
                          2 3 0 0
                          4 5 0 0
                          4 5 0 0

Actually, your code does not give the result you post when I run it. The second row, [2 3 0 0] is repeated (as it should be) in the third.

I suggest:

w=[2 4 4 1 1];
x = zeros(4,4);
for i=1:length(w)
    wi = find(w==w(i))
    x(i,1:length(wi))=wi;
end

that produces:

x =

       1     0     0     0
       2     3     0     0
       2     3     0     0
       4     5     0     0
       4     5     0     0

hello everyone! excuse me! could you please explain the code "x(i,1:length(wi))=wi" to me? i want to know what does the figure "1:length(wi)" mean? thank you!

LeHuy — The ‘1:length(wi)’ statement creates a vector starting at 1 with spacing of 1 to whatever the length of wi is for that loop. If wi=3, the vector is [1 2 3]. Please see the documentation on the colon ‘:’ operator for more details.
