How to subtract from a vector array and, if the answer is lees than 0, have it return a value of 0
Simple. No need to test anything either. Just use the max function. x = [1 2 3]; x(1) = max(x(1) - 2,0); x x = 0 ...

Random number from 1 to 100 if the number between 20 to 30 add 100 if the number 50 to 60 minus 100.
I'll generate 10 samples. N = 10; X = randi(100,1,N); ind = (X >= 20) & (X <= 30); X(ind) = X(ind) + 100; ind = (X >= 5...
