Adjusting the dimensions of input argument

I have written a function which takes in a row vector A as the input. If A is a column vector, I want the program to convert it into a row vector (i.e., replace it by its transpose). This can be achieved using an if statement:

if size(A,1) ~= 1
    A = A';
end

Is there a shorter way of impelmenting this that does not require an if statement?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

A = A(:).';

Answer 2

[Adam Danz]

A = reshape(A,1,[]);

The above will transpose a column vector or will leave a row vector as is.

A quick note on the use of " ' " versus " .' " If your merely transposing a matrix, use the latter. The prior will also negate the sign of an imaginary parts of complex elements (if any).
