Double for loop is not working properly

Hi,

I have a 1x12 cell called 'ch' which contains a repeatable pattern as shown in the code below. I assume that the first row of cells in 'ch' repeats twice, however, the 7th column in ch is not using data{1,2}...

Anyone can help?

        for n=1:6:12
                    for k=1:2
                ch{1,n}= data{1,k}(:,14);
                ch{1,n+1}= 1500
                ch{1,n+2}= 'id'
                ch{1,n+3}='name'
                ch{1,n+4}='tag'
                ch{1,n+5}='unit'                
                    end
        end

What you have posted worked fine for me. The ch{1,7} did capture data{1,2}.

Answer 1

k will take the values [1 2]. For the first iteration of k, it stores data{1,1}(:,14) in ch{1,n}. The second time around, it will store data{1,2}(:,14) in ch{1,n}, overwriting what was previously done. The data associated with k=1 is never stored.

Ha, I didn't even think to look for that. Nice job.

How to address this challenge?

[Bob Thompson]

I think you can actually just combine it down to one loop

for k=1:2
    ch{1,(k-1)*6+1}= data{1,k}(:,14);
    ch{1,(k-1)*6+2}= 1500
    ch{1,(k-1)*6+3}= 'id'
    ch{1,(k-1)*6+4}='name'
    ch{1,(k-1)*6+5}='tag'
    ch{1,k*6}='unit'                
end

Thx. It works.
