Hi to all the members, I have a 4 X 4 Matrix of one i.e ones(4). I want to change all the elements from 1 to -1 randomly in the matrix. BUT Only one element should change at a time from 1 to -1. That it the 1 changes to -1 sixteen times as we have sixteen elements in the matrix.

m = ones(4);
r = rand(4) - 0.5;
m = m .* sign( r );
is one of many ways to do it.

A = ones(4,4) ;
N = 5 ; % number of ones to make negative
idx = randsample(1:16,N) ; % select N random positions to change 1 to -1
A(idx) = -1 ;
