Array Problem How can I unpack an array? why the firt element pf my array is always 0?

Hi

I have written this code, I do not know why always the first element of the array I (which is I1=I(1) is Zero?

Here is the function that I have written the code.

function [I1,I2,I3]  = DynamicModel(x1,x2,x3,V1,V2,V3,c1,c2,c3,Gs,G)
I_11 = 2*V1*c1*(Gs+G)-V2*c1*(Gs+G)-V3*c1*(Gs+G)+c1*c2*x2*(V1-V2)+c1*c3*x3*(V1-V3);
I_12 = V1*c2*(Gs+2*G)-V2*c2*(Gs+G)-V3*c2*G;
I_13 = V1*c3*(Gs+2*G)-V2*c3*G-V3*c3*(Gs+G);
I_21 = -V1*c1*(Gs+G)+V2*c1*(Gs+2*G)-V3*c1*G;
I_22 = -V1*c2*(Gs+G)+2*V2*c2*(Gs+G)-V3*c3*(Gs+G)+c2*c3*x3*(V2-V3)+c1*c2*x1*(V2-V1);
I_23 = -V1*c3*G- V2*c3*(Gs+2*G)-V3*c3*(Gs+G);
I_31 = -V1*c1*(Gs+G)-V2*c1*G-V3*c1*(Gs+2*G);
I_32 = -V1*c2*G-V2*c2*(Gs+G)+V3*c2*(Gs+2*G);
I_33 = -V1*c3*(Gs+G)-V2*c3*(Gs+G)+2*V3*c3*(Gs+G)+c1*c3*x1*(V3-V1)+c2*c3*x2*(V3-V2);
Itrans=[I_11 I_12 I_13;
    I_21 I_22 I_23;
    I_31 I_32 I_33];
G_total= c1*x1+c2*x2+c3*x3+3*Gs;
Additionalpart=((Gs^2+3*G*Gs)/G_total)*[2*V1-V2-V3;-V1+2*V2-V3;-V1-V2+2*V3];
I=(1/G_total)*Itrans*[x1;x2;x3]+Additionalpart;
I1=I(1);
I2=I(2);
I3=I(3);

I also have a question about unpacking the arry, If i write this code like this does it cause any problem?

[I1;
    I2;
    I3]= I;

I received error for this, How can I write a code in matalb in this way? to unpaching an array?

I do not know why always the first element of the array I (which is I1=I(1) is Zero?

We don't know what "always" means. What inputs have you tried?

Answer 1

[Torsten]

We don't know how you call the function - so we cannot predict I1, I2 and I3.

To your second question:

I = [3 5 -6];
[I1,I2,I3] = deal(I(1),I(2),I(3))

I1 = 3

I2 = 5

I3 = -6

Answer 2

[Matt J]

To unpack, you can do

[I1,I2,I3]=deal( I(1), I(2), I(3) )

or,

Icell=num2cell(I);
[I1,I2,I3]=Icell{:}

Answer 3

[Walter Roberson]

[I1;
    I2;
    I3]= I;

That code is valid only if I is a function (not function handle) that returns at least 3 outputs. It is not valid if I is a variable.

Unpacking a vector does not have any nice representation in MATLAB, unless you use a helper function or you use at least two lines of code.

%version 1
temp = num2cell(I);
[I1, I2, I3] = temp{:};

%version 2, more certainty, works in older MATLAB
temp = num2cell(I);
[I1, I2, I3] = deal(temp{:});

%version 3, one line but ugly
[I1, I2, I3] = struct('temp', num2cell(I)).temp;

%version 4, helper function
[I1, I2, I3] = unpack(I);
function varargout = unpack(value);
   temp = num2cell(value);
   [varargout{1:nargout}] = temp{:};
end

There is also a one-line version making use of subref but it is especially ugly.
