Updating an array elements with elements from another Array

Hello, Could I please get some assistance on how to update array elements with elements from another array, For example
A = rand(10,10);
B = rand(10,10);
Result = A-B;
%Identifty which elements are greater than 0
SlctElemnts = Result > 0 ;
%%Update all the elements in A that is less than 0 with the element in B
% A (Result<0);
disp(A)

 Accepted Answer

How about something like this:
A = rand(10,10);
B = rand(10,10);
Result = A-B;
LogicalIndex= Result<0;
A(LogicalIndex)=B(LogicalIndex);

So B will take in Logical Index as well apparently. Missed that out. Thank you

For indexing based solution, refer to Rik's answer. But in this specific case, you are trying to find the element-wise maximum value from both A and B. So you can do it faster using max() function,
A = max(A, B)

This works in my case as well like you pointed out. However index based solution is what I needed here. Thank you
