Rounding off components of a matrix

Hello, I am new to matlab and I got stuck at a particular point.
I have a 256 x 904 matrix with entries between -1 and 1. I need to round it off in such a way that for entries less than or equal to 0, the output should be -1 and for entries greater than 0, the output should be 1.
So, I named this matrix X.
How do I denote X = (xij) in Matlab?
I was thinking of the following code:
if xij < = 0 xij= -1 else xij = 1 end
Could someone please help me?

This particular operation is easy to do across the entire matrix at once:
x = sign(x);
Even if there had not been a simple function that happened to do exactly what you needed, you can often do rounding operations cleverly on the whole matrix.

X(i,j)
However, you do not need that representation for this purpose: sign(X) will do the entire matrix at once.

roundedX = (X > 0) * 2 - 1;
This will do the entire matrix at one time.
Another approach:
roundedX = ones(size(X));
roundedX(X <= 0) = -1;
