Getting rid of a for loop

If I have my code as

function [value1, value2] = scope(input)

c=1;

x=length(input);
    
    for z=2:x
        if z==x
           break
        
        elseif input(z-1)>input(z) && input(z)<input(z+1)
         value1(c,1)=z;
         value2(c,1)=input(z);
         c=c+1;
         
        end
    end

Is it possible to get rid of the for look so the function runs without loops. Thank you.

   value1 = find(input(1:end-2) > input(2:end-1) & input(2:end-1) < input(3:end)) + 1;
  value2 = input(value1);

Perfect Walter, Thank you

The following should do the job.

ind=input(1:end-2)>input(2:end-1) & input(2:end-1)<input(3:end);
ind=[false; ind; false]; % If input is a row vector just remove to semi-colons here.
value1=find(ind);
value2=input(ind);

You're looking for a local minimum in your vector input? [I would choose a different name, BTW, since input already has a meaning.] If so and you're using release R2017b or later use islocalmin.
