finding value less than a threshold

Hi, suppose I have a matrix A as follows:

A =

     1     2     3
     3     3     6
     4     6     8
     4     7     7
I need to find the number of values of matrix A having value less than 6.

How to do this?

Thanks in advance

sum(A(:)<6)

[Mohammad Golam Kibria]

this code gives the following output:

>> sum(A(:)<6)

ans =

7

but in the matrix values less than 6 are 1,2,3,3,3,4,4 ;

so the output should be 20;

code might not correct.would u pls check again.Thanks

>> sum(A(A<6))

ans =

20

Your original question is phrased wrong though for the answer you wanted. Should be 'sum of values of matrix A'

[Walter Roberson]

RoJo is correct. Your original question asked for the *number* of values, and that is what I answered. RoJo's code is good if you want the total of those values.
