counts the number of elements in vector “x” that have values between 14 and 42 and creates a new vector “y” that contains only the elements of “x” in that specified range. in matlab

To count the number of elements in vector "x" that have values between 14 and 42, we can use logical indexing and the "sum" function:

main.m
x = [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45];
y = x(x >= 14 & x <= 42);
count = sum(x >= 14 & x <= 42);

In the above code, we created a vector "y" which contains only the elements of "x" that are between 14 and 42. The logical indexing is done using the "&" (and) operator to specify multiple conditions. The "sum" function is used to count the number of elements that meet the specified conditions.

Alternatively, we can use conditional statements such as "if" and "else" to achieve the same result:

main.m
x = [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45];
y = [];
count = 0;
for i = 1:length(x)
    if x(i) >= 14 && x(i) <= 42
        y = [y x(i)];
        count = count + 1;
    end
end

In this code, we initialized an empty vector "y" and a counter variable "count". We then looped through each element in the vector "x" and checked if it meets the specified conditions using the "if" statement. If the condition is true, we added the element to the vector "y" and incremented the counter variable.
