How do i step from a bigger number to a smaller number ?

8 views (last 30 days)
I want to create an array with two numbers like this;
Xprime = x1 : 0.01 : x2
but when i make x1 > x2 i get an empty array.
Is there a solution to this ?

In general, if you don't know what x1 and x2 are, and which one will be bigger, you can do
x1 = 3
x2 = 2
inc = 0.01;
xPrime = x1 : sign(x2-x1) * inc : x2
If you know how many steps you want between the two, you can use the linspace() function instead:
numSteps = 10;
xPrime = linspace(x1, x2, numSteps)

If you want to create a decrement array, you should use
Xprime = x1:-0.01:x2;

x = 2:-0.01:1
x = 1×101
