check if all inputs are positive and convert to positive values if not in matlab

You can check if all inputs in a MATLAB array are positive by using conditional statements and loops. Here is an example code:

main.m
input_array = [-5, 10, 15, -20, 25];

% Loop through each input and check if it's positive
for i = 1:length(input_array)
    if input_array(i) < 0
        % If input is negative, convert it to positive
        input_array(i) = abs(input_array(i));
    end
end

In this code, we first create an input array that contains some negative values. Then, we loop through each element in the array using a for loop. Inside the loop, we use an if statement to check if the current element is negative by comparing it to zero. If it's negative, we use the abs function to convert it to a positive value. Finally, we end the loop and the input_array will contain only positive values.

Note that you can also use input validation to make sure that all inputs are positive before performing any other operations on them. Here is an example code using input validation with the inputParser object:

main.m
function my_function(varargin)
% Create input parser object
p = inputParser;

% Define input validation rules
isValidPos = @(x) all(x > 0); % Check if values are positive

% Add optional input argument with input validation
addOptional(p, 'my_input', [], isValidPos);

% Parse inputs
parse(p, varargin{:});
my_input = p.Results.my_input;

% Convert negative values to positive
for i = 1:length(my_input)
    if my_input(i) < 0
        my_input(i) = abs(my_input(i));
    end
end

In this code, we create an input parser object using the inputParser function. We then define a custom validation function isValidPos that checks if all input values are positive. We add an optional input argument my_input with the validation rule applied using the addOptional method. We then parse the inputs using the parse method, which automatically validates the input according to the rules we defined. Finally, we loop through the my_input array and convert any negative values to positive using the abs function.
