minutes to hour and minutes

I have a function that converts minutes to hours and minutes. it takes the value of minutes(mins) only once. However I want to update the value of variable mins several times(eg 10) so the variable output(test) is also updated the same number of times. How can I do this with example values of variable mins (60, 120,180,240,300).

hr_min = @(mins) [fix(mins/60) rem(mins,60)];   % Minutes —> [Hrs Min]
mins = 180;                            % Test Data
test = hr_min(mins)                             % Test Output

Make mins a column vector, or use mins(:) in your function handle.

Use the (:) subscript convention to forec the ‘mins’ argument to be a column vector:

hr_min = @(mins) [fix(mins(:)/60) rem(mins(:),60)];   % Minutes —> [Hrs Min]

then:

test = hr_min([60, 120,180,240,30])

produces:

test =
     1     0
     2     0
     3     0
     4     0
     0    30
