Flip a vector using for

I'm a MATLAB beginner in need of some help. I need to flip a vector so that it goes in reverse. Basically, [1 2 3] becomes [3 2 1]; Here's what I've got:

 vector=[1:12]
 A=0;
 j=12;
 for i=1:12
    A=vector(i);
    vector(i)=vector(j);
    vector(j)=A;
    j=j-1;
 end
 vector

I'm not really sure why it's not working since this seems like the logical way to do it.

Answer 1

[Andrei Bobrov]

out = flip(yourvector);

with loop (no use)

out = zeros(size(yourvector));
k = 1;
for ii = numel(yourvector):-1:1
    out(k) = yourvector(ii);
    k = k + 1;
end

Yes, I know there a functions to do it for me but I need to do it using for.

Because you are exchanging elements, you wind up flipping the vector twice, which gets it back to the original state. Instead, just run your for-loop through 1/2 of the vector so that the elements are only flipped once. E.g.,

 for i=1:floor(numel(vector)/2)

Oh! Yes, I see where I went wrong, thank you.
