A(I)=B

??? In an assignment A(I) = B, the number of elements in B and
 I must be the same.

Error in ==> calculate_polt_sin at 3
A(1)=mean(intensity);

Error in ==> plotsin at 6
[A,y,standard_deviation,maxerror,minerror]=calculate_polt_sin(polang,intensity,h);

Error in ==> file_reading_plotting_pol_angle at 101
S=plotsin(polang,intensity,h);


can anyone help me with this?

well, YES, the error message is pretty clear - is it not?...
- the number of (true!) elements of I
- is not equal to the number of elements of B
how do you check...

% at the command prompt, type
     dbstop if error;
% run your code
% it will stop and open the file in the editor at the offending line
% now
     whos I B
% if I is of class logical, also do
     nnz(I)

A(1)=mean(intensity);
What your command here is saying is that the first value of A should be the mean of your data, intensity.

The error message that you're getting is saying that you're trying to assign more than one value to A(1).

Common sense dictates that the "mean" value is a single value. In MATLAB, though, if intensity is a multi-dimensional cell or vector, you will get more than one value from the "mean" function- one for each ROW.

Try this:

test = zeros(2,2); %Create a 2x2 vector of zeros
testmean = mean(test); %Get the mean value of that vector

testmean = [0,0];
%Your answer is returned as a vector, with a "mean" value for each row in your original vector.

Make sure that your intensity vector is being formed correctly. If so, try making a single vector, containing the values from each row of intensity, and then taking the mean value of that. Or, you can take a "mean of means" by getting the mean value for each of the rows in intensity, then taking the mean of those.

i have tried this but it gives the same error again. I have ten intensity values that i pass into this function to find the mean.

% What did you try? Its not clear what "this" is.

% If intensity is an array (or vector) of ten values, then

mean(intensity(:));

% should return a scalar that is the average of those ten values
% regardless of the size of intensity.
% Is that what you want?

why do you not simply start with the DEBUG-stuff that was shown to you...

yes i think... thank u :)

yes i know where the problem lies... i have done debugging
