Applying a function to the values in a table

I have this function where standard_time and E are part of a table. I want to create a new column from this function as such.

T.solar_time = calc_solar_time(T.standard_time, L_st, L_loc, T.E);

function solar_time = calc_solar_time(standard_time, L_st, L_loc, E)

if standard_time == 0

solar_time = 24 * 60 + 4 * (L_st - L_loc) + E;

else

solar_time = 4 * (L_st - L_loc) + E;

end

end

The function acts as if its written like below. As in it just uses the solar_time definition which it reaches the first time.

function solar_time = calc_solar_time(standard_time, L_st, L_loc, E)

solar_time = 4 * (L_st - L_loc) + E;

end

L_st and L_loc are constants.

The table is like this.. https://www.hizliresim.com/6amb7qx

 T.solar_time = calc_solar_time(T.standard_time, L_st, L_loc, T.E);

That is passing in all entries from the table at the same time.

You have three major choices:

• rewrite your function to use logical indexing
• rewrite your function to loop
• change the way you call your function to call it using arrayfun()

Thnak you, I thınk I'll just use loops

[Walter Roberson]

Logical indexing is what I would recommend.

Thank you, I just learned about them. Makes the code look really neat.
