find()
Core Math
find() is a MATLAB®-compatible core math function for indices of nonzero elements. optional second argument n limits the result count; optional third argument 'first' or 'last' picks which end to search from. Run it online in your browser with SimLab — free, no install, no license required.

Frequently Asked Questions about find()
Is the find() function free to use in SimLab?
The browser workspace requires no MATLAB® license or installation. Connected features require network access and may have account, tier, availability, or usage limits. You can open find() and 510+ other MATLAB®-compatible function references at simulations4all.com/simlab.
Do I need to install MATLAB to use find()?
No. SimLab’s core parser, workspace state, and most functions run locally in your browser. The find() function requires no MATLAB® license or desktop software download.
What does find() do?
Indices of nonzero elements. Optional second argument n limits the result count; optional third argument 'first' or 'last' picks which end to search from. It is a MATLAB®-compatible core math function available in SimLab with the same calling syntax as MATLAB® — typically: find(x).
Can I run find() in my browser?
Yes. Open SimLab at simulations4all.com/simlab, write or paste code that calls find(), and run it. This function’s calculation runs locally in the browser. SimLab session analytics, sharing, feedback, and eligible acceleration have separate network boundaries.
