Dear Researcher

MATLAB does not allow an index of zero into an array. All indexing

starts at 1.you can check this attachment for more detail.

Matlab is like FORTRAN we can not allow to index to be zero

With PASCAL we can do this

It is not possible. Matlab indexing always starts at 1.

It is possible if your Matlab is not older then 2009. I would suggest to define your own class (data type). It has its limitations and might be a little bit slower but if you really need zero indexing you can do it (basically you could do any indexing with that). Please read the tutorials about Object Orientated Programming.

I attached a class definition that basically does what you want. Just include it into your Matlab search path, then you then can try the following:

Please bear with me, because of time I did not comment any of the code. Let me know whether you have any question. 

ai = ArrayIndexClass;

>> ai([0:10]) = 1:11;

>>

ai

ai =

1x11 ArrayIndexClass array with properties:

array: [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11]

>> ai(0)

ans =

1

>> length(ai)

ans =

11

>> isempty(ai)

ans =

0

>> size(ai)

ans =

1 11

>> ai = ArrayIndexClass(10, 'int8');

>> a = ai.array

its nice method thanks a lot
