How do I refer to only the odd-numbered elements in any given vector?

Given a vector I want to write a function that only refers to the odd-numbered elements in that given vector. How would I do this?

What is an "odd-numbered" element? An element for which the index is odd (keep in mind that MATLAB uses one-based indexing!), or where the element value itself is odd?

Cancel Copy to Clipboard I’m not certain what you mean by ‘odd-numbered elements’, so here are two possibilities: oddidx = @(v) v(1:2:end); % Addressing Odd-Indexed Elements oddval = @(v) v(rem(v,2) == 1); % Addressing Odd-Valued Elements y1 = oddidx(v) y2 = oddval(v) 10 12 14 16 18 20 11 13 15 17 19
