REPLACING NUMBERS IN ARRAYS

An example array

A=[0,-6,3,0,0;-1,-4,-7,-9,-9;-4,-7,11,-5,12;10,-7,5,-7,13;0,11,-2,-6,2;12,4,2,-5,NaN]
A =

     0    -6     3     0     0
    -1    -4    -7    -9    -9
    -4    -7    11    -5    12
    10    -7     5    -7    13
     0    11    -2    -6     2
    12     4     2    -5   NaN

Defining the input array for entries (NaN's allows) that need to be replaced

a=[2 -5 nan 0]
a =

     2    -5   NaN     0

Defining the numbers (NaN's allows) to take their place

b=[991 992 993 994]; %Numbers to take their place

Replacing the numbers using numReplace

B=numReplace(A,a,b)
B =

   994    -6     3   994   994
    -1    -4    -7    -9    -9
    -4    -7    11   992    12
    10    -7     5    -7    13
   994    11    -2    -6   991
    12     4   991   992   993

NOTES ON PERFORMANCE FOR NON-INTEGERS

The numReplace function employs the ismember function. Hence it is suitable for all number cases where ismember is able to detect membership. Numerical precission difficulties may arise for non-integer entires. Consider the below:

logicMember=ismember(pi,pi+eps(pi))
logicMember=ismember(pi,pi+eps(pi)/10)
logicMember =

  logical

   0


logicMember =

  logical

   1
