Map function in MATLAB?

Question

I\'m a little surprised that MATLAB doesn\'t have a Map function, so I hacked one together myself since it\'s something I can\'t live without. Is there a better version out

Answer 1

Vectorizing the solution as described in the previous answers is the probably the best solution for speed. Vectorizing is also very Matlaby and feels good.

With that said Matlab does now have a Map container class.
