Element-wise Conditional Statements in Script

I currently have a script which initiates a "for" loop early on, creating a vector array 3x50.

Later on, I attempt to generate a new 3x50 vector using conditional statements so that when the value is above a certain critical value, then the element returned corresponds to the i,j of a one vector, and if it's below, it returns the i,j of a different vector.

for j=1:3
    Qr(j)
    for i=1:50
        if Pc(i,j)>=P0(i,j)
            P12(i,j)=Pc(i,j)
        else P12(i,j)=P0(i,j)
    end
end

Could someone please explain a way to accomplish this?

Thanks.

Use the max function with two inputs.

Zachary - you seem to be missing an end in your code. Perhaps try

for j=1:3
    Qr(j)
    for i=1:50
        if Pc(i,j)>=P0(i,j)
            P12(i,j)=Pc(i,j)
        else 
            P12(i,j)=P0(i,j)
        end
    end
end
