How to search for a string in cell array in MATLAB?
(8 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I'm a newbie to Matlab and have a question about str locating:
A = ['abc','de','fghij','something','another'];
Then how can I get 3 if I use strfind(A,'fghij')?
Thanks.

I'm not exactly sure I understand your question, but if you are wondering why the value is 3 instead of 2 it is because matlab (unlike most languages you may be used to) indexes arrays starting at 1 instead of 0.

Thanks #TroyHaskin ! I find the answer in another post~
idx=find(ismemeber(A,'fghij')) is what I want.

word = 'eat'
sent = "we don't beat you we beat the competition"
if word in sent:
print("Present")
There is no 'eat' in the sentence but still, it is showing that eat is available. I know that eat is within beat but I want to find whether 'eat' alone is available or not instead of present in some other words. How to do it. Thank You.

I was using a ROUNDUP functions and find a very strange answers and later i found out that 1-1.09 = -0.0900000000000001 according to excel. i am not a mathematician but i think than correct answer 1 - 1.09 must be -0.09. i cant figure it out why the answer is -0.0900000000000001. is this a bug or i have missed something?
P.S. I am using Excel2016 16.0.4417.10000 64-bit, on Windows 10
Computers only have 0 and 1 to represent any value. Converting 0.1 into a binary number would result in a long ‘zeros-and-ones-number’: .0001100011000111000111
In order to avoid an endless number, Excel would round it at the end. But this rounding of the binary equivalent to 0.1 leads to miscalculation.
found it on here. Basically excel does it to save memory https://professor-excel.com/wrong-calculations-why-does-excel-show-a-wrong-result/

Is there any method to find the lowest occurence of an character in a string as like most_common used for maximum occurence? [duplicate]

How to get the least common element in a list?

string='hhelloo'
output must be 'e' because it is least occurred character in string.
lst=[1,1,2,3,4,5,5]
moc=min([(lst.count(chr),chr) for chr in (lst)])
print(moc)
You could use the last element from Counter.most_common()
from collections import Counter
print(Counter('hhelloo').most_common()[-1][0])
This wouldn't be very efficient however. For a more efficient method, take a look at this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4743286/5946921
It implements a least_common function in a similar way to how Counter.most_common is implemented

Most smart compilers will realize that concatenated string constants can be concatenated at compile time. If your compiler chooses to make that optimization, the answer is one.
Otherwise, you have each of your literal strings, plus one for each concatenation. Without the optimization, the answer is 7 because you have 4 strings and 3 +es.
If you're talking about Java, the answer is one, at compile time, as specified in the JLS.
If you're not, the question is unanswerable as posed.
Only one object will be created. In this case because the plus sign is used to concatenate "string literals". :)

I know recursion and can write programs like fibonacci number, tree traversals so I think I know it but when it comes to this question specifically I feel bad
Please guide me with how to calculate all possible permutations of a string
Here is good examples of different permutation algorithms, including recursive one: http://www.bearcave.com/random_hacks/permute.html
