To list all the male names in Matlab, assuming that you have a cell array of names called names, you can use the strcmp function to compare each name to the string "male", creating a logical array of true/false values. You can then use this logical array to index the names cell array and extract only the names where the logical value is true. Here is the code block that accomplishes this:
main.m303 chars9 lines
The resulting male_names variable will contain a cell array of all the male names in the names variable.
