@ernestina  You can remove an element from an array by setting that element's value to []. Example:

1
2
a = [1, 2, 3];
a

In this case, matlab will show us:

1
2
a =
  1 2 3

For example we want to remove the second element from this array then we write:

1
a(2) = [];

Now if we output the array a, we get:

1
2
a = 
  1 3

In MATLAB, you can remove an element from an array by specifying the index of the element in the array, and then using the ":" operator to remove it. For example, if you have an array called "A" and you want to remove the element at index 3, you would use the following syntax:

1
A(3) = [];


This will remove the element at index 3 from the array A, and shift all of the other elements down to fill the gap.


Alternatively, you can use the function delete to remove multiple elements from an array at once. For example, to remove the elements at indices 2, 3 and 4 from array A:

1
A(2:4) = [];


This will remove elements 2,3,4 from array A and shift the remaining elements to fill the gap.
