I am trying to calculate mean of all the columns in my matrix. Help me please?

I am really new to coding and this might seem like a basic question. I am trying to calculate means of individual columns in my matrix and I want to run a loop to do that.

eg.

5 6 6 7 8 9 5 5 3 2 5 7 3 9 8 8 0 7 7 7 8 8 4 4

Basically I want the answers to be in the format

4 6.75 6.125..........

thanks

>> a=[1 2 3; 1 2 3]

a =

       1     2     3
       1     2     3

>> mean(a,1)

ans =

       1     2     3

The help section is extremely useful. You might consider using that first.

What if I have 5 columns,but I only want to find the means for columns first till the end. I say end because 5 could be 6,7,8,9, etc etc.

No, 5 could not be 6,7,8,9. 5 is 5. Please rephrase the question, if this guess does not match your needs:

m = mean(a(1:5, :), 1)
