matrix starting index from zero

hello everybody how we can change matrix first index? i mean that start from zero instead of one. for example

a=[60,78;100,400;200,600]
a(0,0)=60
a(1,0)=100

[Sagar Damle]

But why do you want the index to start from zero ? In MATLAB,it starts from one and this does not pose any problem !!

Answer 1

[Roger Wohlwend]

You cannot do that. The first element is a(1,1) and there's no way to change that.

i found it...

Answer 2

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals

you can work with your indices by adding 1 to them

a(0+1,0+1)
a(1+1,0+1)

thanks a million i found it

[Mahnoor Naseer]

pls tell me how you did it

[Rik]

It is unlikely mahsa is still monitoring this thread. Why don't you explain why you want this?
