firstnonsingleton

Finds first dimension which is not 1

Calling Sequence

[dim]=firstnonsingleton(A[,opt])

Arguments

:dim first dimension of A which is not 1 : :A a variable of any Scilab data type : :opt a character string giving the type of output we want

:”num” returned value is a numerical value : :”str” returned value is a character string if possible (“r” instead

of 1 and “c” instead of 2)

Description

This function is used by mfile2sci to emulate Matlab behavior under Scilab, particularly for functions which treat the values along the first non-singleton dimension of A in Matlab while in Scilab they treat all values of A.

Examples

A = [1 2 3;4 5 6];
// Scilab max
M = `max`_(A)
// Matlab max emulation
M = `max`_(A,firstnonsingleton(A))
