If 'variable' is an indexed variable, performance can be improved using logical indexing instead of FIND

I get why it'd be "faster" using
A = find(C==4);
instead of
A = C==4;
Thing is, what if I NEED the number of the row/column ONLY instead of the logical array the latter gives?
Code in question:
if mpc.gen(17,8) ~= 0
elseif mpc.gen(16,8)~=0
C = find(mpc.bus(:,2)==3);
mpc.bus(C,2)=1;
B = mpc.gen(16,1);
D = find(mpc.bus(:,1)==B);
mpc.bus(D,2)=3;
end
I'm using two matrices:
Wherever there's a "3" in the mpc.bus array I need to change such number to a 1.
Then I need to find the row where the number located in "mpc.gen(16,1)" is, and change the number "next to it" (the column to the right of it) to a 3.

You can mix logical and subscripted indexing, so there's no need for your two FIND calls.
A = magic(5)
col3GT10 = A(:, 3) > 10
A(col3GT10, 5) = A(col3GT10, 4)-A(col3GT10, 5)
Note that only rows 3, 4, and 5 of column 5 in A have been modified.
There are circumstances when you explicitly want to compute the numeric indices. In those cases, go ahead and compute them. But you may need more memory to do so. In this small a case it doesn't make much of a difference; in a larger case it might.
F = find(col3GT10);
whos col3GT10 F
