Answered: Walter Roberson on 2 Apr 2025

I am struggling to create a function that looks at each row of a matrix to see if it contains all non zero numbers. If it does, those rows get removed. Then, the remaining rows are shifted down and the number of rows that are removed need to get added back on the top as rows of zeros. So if two full rows are removed, everything should get shifted down and then two rows of zeros should be added to the top.

This sounds like a homework assignment. If it is, show us the code you've written to try to solve the problem and ask a specific question about where you're having difficulty and we may be able to provide some guidance.

If you aren't sure where to start because you're not familiar with how to write MATLAB code, I suggest you start with the free MATLAB Onramp tutorial to quickly learn the essentials of MATLAB.

If you aren't sure where to start because you're not familiar with the mathematics you'll need to solve the problem, I recommend asking your professor and/or teaching assistant for help.
