Could anyone tell what is the difference between ind and idx.

Could anyone tell what is the difference between ind and idx.

In what context? They might be both abbreviations for index.

As Dennis mentioned, they are both abbreviations for index.

As you may have noticed in the previous thread (where the code in the question was originally written by me as well), I sometimes use one, and sometimes the other.

It is not a hard and fast rule, but in general I will use idx for results of a search, and ind if I'm composing an index vector to be used in a vectorized operation. But these are personal preferences, and I don't even always follow this 'rule' myself.
