How do I refer to only the odd-numbered elements in any given vector?

Given a vector I want to write a function that only refers to the odd-numbered elements in that given vector. How would I do this?

What is an "odd-numbered" element? An element for which the index is odd (keep in mind that MATLAB uses one-based indexing!), or where the element value itself is odd?

I’m not certain what you mean by ‘odd-numbered elements’, so here are two possibilities:
v = [10:20];
oddidx = @(v) v(1:2:end); % Addressing Odd-Indexed Elements
oddval = @(v) v(rem(v,2) == 1); % Addressing Odd-Valued Elements
y1 = oddidx(v)
y2 = oddval(v)
produces:
y1 =
10 12 14 16 18 20
y2 =
11 13 15 17 19

function y = everyOther(x)
n=length(x);
y=x(1:2:n);
end
