Function to get a particular sequence of integers

Hi everyone!

My question is really simple to understand visually with an example, but I can't reach a solution. Maybe someone could bring me some help.

Example:

n=3;

Input: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8... and so on] %always integers >=1

Output needed: [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2... and so on]

NOTE 1: input vector is not neccessarily sorted, thus

Input: [4,3,6,1,2,7,5,8] %always integers >=1

Output needed: [1,3,3,1,2,1,2,2]

NOTE 2: I believe mod(x,n) function could be useful in this case, but I don't know how exactly.

Thanks in advance!

Try this

x = [4,3,6,1,9,2,7,5,8];
y = mod(x-1, 3)+1;

Result

>> y
y =
     1     3     3     1     3     2     1     2     2
