How to use values of certain matrices without using for loop?

I have certain values a, b and c. I have P=a*b/c;

For example, If a=2, b=6, c=4. Then P will be P=2*6/4=3;

But, If I want to check three cases, when values of a, b and c will change, how P will be changed?

First case:: If I want to check effect of 'a',

 If a=(1:1:10); b=6, c=4. So, in this case P will be matrix .

Second case:: If I want to check effect of 'c',

If a=2; b=6, c=(100:100:1000). So, in this case P will be matrix .

How Can I do this, without using for loop and 'if'?

Could anyone help me?

P.S. I have large code, and a lot of values as a, b and c. Therefore will be very complicated to use for loop and if.

You need to vectorize the expression. The easiest way to do what you want is to turn ‘P’ into an anonymous function and if all your values are between 1 and 10, use a meshgrid call:

P = @(a,b,c) a.*b./c;

[M1,M2,M3] = meshgrid(1:10);

Pm = P(M1,M2,M3);

This runs. I do not know what you want, so I will leave you to sort out the ‘Pm’ matrix.

Values are different

Change the meshgrid call:

a_range = [a1, a2];
b_range = [b1, b2];
c_range = [c1, c2];
av = linspace(min(a_range), max(a_range), 10);
bv = linspace(min(b_range), max(b_range), 10);
cv = linspace(min(c_range), max(c_range), 10);

[M1,M2,M3] = meshgrid(av, bv, cv);

Change the number of vector elements (here 10) in each vector if necessary.
