What is the process for converting this Matlab function into a vectorized form?

edit

To convert a Matlab function into a vectorized form, you need to rewrite the code so that it can operate on arrays without using any loops.

The process usually involves the following steps:

1. Identify any loops in the code that iterate over individual elements of an array.
2. Replace the loop construct with a vectorized operation that applies the same operation to the entire array.
3. Use Matlab's built-in vectorized functions (such as 'max', 'min', 'sum', 'sin', 'cos', 'exp', and so on) to simplify the code wherever possible.
4. Adjust the code as needed to ensure that it still produces the correct output.

Note that vectorizing code can significantly improve performance, especially for large datasets, but it may not always be possible or practical to do so. In some cases, it may be necessary to use loops or other non-vectorized constructs for particular tasks.
