How to store data from my IF loop

Hello everyone, I need to create a vector based on some conditions I have on other variables. Basically, I have 672 entries (hour 1,2,3...) for q ,q1 and q2. q1 is priced at p1 and q2 is priced at p2. I basically want to write a new "column" or vector with the results from the loop: if less than q1, price is p1, if not, if up to q1+q2, the price is p2. However, I am not able to save this results for each one of the 672 hours. How could I do that?

if q=q1
  p=p1
else if q=q2+q1
  p=p2
else p=p3
end
end

Thank you!

Well, you don't have a loop at the moment. 'if' is not a loop, it is just a single statement.

Something similar to the following is what you need. I went off your words rather than code for the criteria in the if statements as your code does not match what you state as the conditions.

for n = 1:numel( q )
...
if q(n) < q1(n)
   p(n) = p1(n);
elseif q(n) <= q2(n) + g1(n)
   p(n) = p2(n);
else
   p(n) = p3(n);
end

end

Thank you, that worked great!

you wrap a for loop on top of your code.

for iloop=1:672
q=dataIn(iloop);
if q=q1
    p=p1
  else if q=q2+q1
    p=p2
  else p=p3
  end
  end
end
dataout(iloop) = p
end
