Multiplying Vector by Constant that Depends on Vector Elements

6 views (last 30 days)
Given a vector containing values 1 through 1000, I would like to multiply the vector elements by constant C1 if they range from 1-100, by constant C2 if they range from 100-200, etc...
Is there a simpler way to do this than iterating through the vector?
for i = 1:size(vector,2);
if vector(i) < 100
C = C1;
else if vector(i) < 200
C = C2;
end
result(i) = vector(i) * C;
end

Mult = ones(size(vector));
Mult(vector < 200) = C2; % The largest limit at first!
Mult(vector < 100) = C1;
result = vector .* Mult;

There have been some other good solutions which perform the distribution to the different intervals automatically. Unfortunately they have been deleted.
The 2nd output of HISTC could be useful also.

vector=randi([1 100],38,1);
[~,b] = histc(vector,0:100:1000);
C = randi(125,10,1);
result = C(b).*vector;
