I have a matrix A and I generate B=randi([0,1],7,3).I want C=A*B only if sum of each row of B=1..I tried this..
A=[1 0 0 1 0 1 1
0 1 1 1 0 0 1
1 0 0 1 1 0 0
1 0 0 0 1 0 1
1 1 0 0 0 1 0
0 1 0 0 0 1 1]
for k=1:numIterations
B=randi([0,1],7,3);
if sum(B,2)==1;
C=A*B;
end
end
how to use IF condition in this case?

What do you want to have happen if the condition is met multiple times within the "for k" loop? You are overwriting all of C each time.

Don't generate B randomly, or at least not the way you're generating it. Your constraint on B is that each row must have exactly one nonzero value. So generate the index of the column in each row that contains the nonzero value and use that to generate a B matrix that is guaranteed to satisfy your constraint.
numRows = 10;
numCols = 5;
rowind = (1:numRows).';
colind = randi(numCols, numRows, 1);
B = accumarray([rowind, colind], 1, [numRows, numCols]);
check = all(sum(B, 2) == 1)
The sz input to accumarray is necessary for the (unlikely) case where no row has a 1 in the last column, to ensure B is the correct size.
