Hi all, I'm confused by the sentence as following:
[~,ind] = min(dist(:));
Could you tell me what does the character "~" mean in this code?
I appreciate your answer.

It is a "dummy" output, meaning that even though MATLAB normally generates that output, you know that you do not need it later in your code. In your particular case, you need the second output (the index), but you don't need the first output (the value of the minimum).

Note: older versions of MATLAB do not support this syntax. If your version of MATLAB reports an invalid operation at that point, then substitute any convenient temporary variable name for the ~ . For example,
[junk, ind] = min(dist(:));
clear junk
