How to implement the algorithm in matlab

1.Let's say i need an array to store the previous breakdown nodes: Storebreakdown=[0 0 0 0 0 ...](hundreds of zeros)

then if breakdown, how to add inside the Storebreakdown array?

2. After qn 1 is completed, how to implement this:

if node is not in Storebreakdown array { perform action }

[jy tan]

nobody knows?

What are "breakdown nodes" ??

Question 2 sounds like an application of ismember()

[jy tan]

each node has a number, so if it breakdowns, i want to store it in the breakdown array, is it possible to do this with ismember()?

[jy tan]

is there a function to add a number as a member inside the array?

[Walter Roberson]

ismember() is for checking to see if a number is already in an array. ismember(29, a)

The function for assigning a member inside an array is subsasgn() which is not often called directly. Instead, people usually invoke matrix assignment syntax, such as a(5) = 29;
