how to select specific values in a matrix

Hi I will give an example, I have a 10X10 matrix, I want to select the 4th value in the first row, the 7th value in the 4th row and value 5 onwards on the 3rd row, and selecting multiple values from different rows. If anyone can help me. Thanks

>> a = magic(10)

a =

      92    99     1     8    15    67    74    51    58    40
      98    80     7    14    16    73    55    57    64    41
       4    81    88    20    22    54    56    63    70    47
      85    87    19    21     3    60    62    69    71    28
      86    93    25     2     9    61    68    75    52    34
      17    24    76    83    90    42    49    26    33    65
      23     5    82    89    91    48    30    32    39    66
      79     6    13    95    97    29    31    38    45    72
      10    12    94    96    78    35    37    44    46    53
      11    18   100    77    84    36    43    50    27    59

>> a(1,4)

ans =

       8

>> a(4,7)

ans =

      62

>> a(3,5:end)

ans =

      22    54    56    63    70    47

If I understand correctly, that's because your matrix is a 10x10, so only 10 values per row/column.

Ah no problem.

Also, that error message means that your matrix has 25 rows and 3 columns. So, it's not possible to access the value on W2(1,24).
