Very quick logical vector question

Say I have a logical vector of [1,0,1,1,0]

How do I convert that to read out [true false true true false] in the command window?

Do you mean like this?
A = logical([1,0,1,1,0]);

B(A==1) = {'true'};
B(A==0) = {'false'};

best, arun.

there's probably a much more straightforward way of doing it but this is one way providing you are happy with the output:

a=[1,0,1,1,0];

for i=1:length(a)
    if a(i)==1
        b{i}='true';
    else
        b{i}='false';
    end
end

c=b';
disp(c)

One approach:

% Data
A = [1,0,1,1,0];

% Display
regexprep(sprintf('%i',A),{'1','0'},{' true ',' false '})

I doubt there is a way to do EXACTLY (display only) what you describe.

You could however, create a cell array the same size as above (initialized to all 'false' and set the logial ones index to 'true').

For smaller size of 'a', for-loop seems to be faster (as usual).

a = logical(round(rand(100,1)));
tic;
for i=1:length(a)
    if a(i)==1
        b{i}='true';
    else
        b{i}='false';
    end
end
toc;
A = a;
tic;
B(A==1) = {'true'};
B(A==0) = {'false'};
toc;
% Elapsed time is 0.012134 seconds.
% Elapsed time is 0.024015 seconds.

when size(a) = 10000*1,
% Elapsed time is 0.218376 seconds.
% Elapsed time is 0.014273 seconds.

best, arun.

wow, that's... compact!!!

Sure there is. You just have to overload the display function for
logical arguments. You can make it do anything you want.

You can improve both methods a lot by pre-allocating B!

Thanks a lot guys!

Dirty way of Matt's solution, just for the sake of getting an even shorter command:

% warning off
strrep(strrep(A,0,'false '),1,'true ')

% Or more visible
strrep(strrep(A,false,'false '),true,'true ')

A = [1 0 0 1 0];
B = {'false', 'true'};
C = B(A+1)
% or
mat2str(logical(A))
% or
fprintf('%s ', B{A+1})

The last one won't exactly reproduce A if A is a matrix, but I'm including
it because it could be useful.
