loop-free comparison of different sized vectors

Show all headers | View raw

Hello, everybody

I want to compare all the elements of two different sized vectors without using 'for' loops.

More precisely, if v and w are vectors of lengths n and m, respectively, 
I want to produce a matrix A of dimensions nxm such that 
A(i,j)=1 if v(i)>w(j) and 0 otherwise.

Of course, one can do that just using a loop going through all the elements of one of the vectors, something like

for i=1:length(v)
  A(i,:)=v(i)>w
end

but I was looking for a "vectorialized" Octave command to do it more efficiently. It is a pity that just typing v>w of v.>w Octave prompts an error, and does not do what I intend to ;-)

Thanks you all for your time and attention.
