Finding y-intercept for loop

Hi,
In the m.uvals file I 24 x 1 x 31 matrix, 24 are the index of xivals and 31 are the values of u and m.array file is the y array.
Please how can find the y-intercept for each value of xivals? I have tried code below for one of xivals, which seems to work. Also why is the value of the intercept not at the point where y exactly intercept x ?
xivals =[0:1:21 60 100];
y=yarray;
V=squeeze(u(1, :,:))';
loc=diff(sign(V)) & abs(y(1:end-1))<0.001;
yintercept=y(loc);
figure(1)
plot(y,V,yintercept,0,'rx');
yline(0);
xlabel y-coordinate;
ylabel Velocity

I made some minor changes to your code, and added a loop to return reasonably precise values of ‘y’ for each intersection. Your idea was appropriate, however the indices themselves will not be accurate enough for most purposes. It is necessary to interpolate to get reasonably precise values.
Try this —
LD1 = load('uval.mat');
u = squeeze(LD1.ux);
Sizeu = size(u)
LD2 = load('yarray.mat');
yarray = LD2.yarray;
xivals =[0:1:21 60 100];
y=yarray;
V=u(1,:);
loc=diff(sign(V)) & abs(y(1:end-1))<0.001;
% yintercept=y(loc)
intsx = find(diff(sign(V))); % Approximate Indices Of Intersections
for k = 1:numel(intsx)
idxrng = max(1,intsx(k)-1) : min(numel(V),intsx(k)+1); % Index Range
yintercept(k) = interp1(V(idxrng), y(idxrng), 0); % Interpolated Values Of Intersections
end
yintercept
figure(1)
plot(y,V,yintercept,0,'rx');
yline(0);
xlabel y-coordinate;
ylabel Velocity
