Column Vector Containing the Row Sums of the Elements of A

My task is to write a MATLAB function that takes as input a nonemty 2-dimensional array A and returns a column vector containing the row sums of the elements of A. I have a program written out, however it calculates and sum of all elements and puts them in a column vector. Please help me figure out how to only add the elements of one row and continue with the next. Here is what I have so far:

function RowSum = ex(A)

%

%

[NRows, NCols] = size(A);

RowSum = zeros(NRows, 1);

for row = 1: NRows

for col = 1: NCols

RowSum = RowSum + A(row, col);

end

end

Thank you in advance for the help.

Why not use the builtin function

M = rand(10, 5);
M_sum = sum(M, 2)

As for your current code, the correct is

function RowSum = ex(A)
%
%

[NRows, NCols] = size(A);
RowSum = zeros(NRows, 1);
for row = 1: NRows
    for col = 1: NCols
            RowSum(row) = RowSum(row)  + A(row, col);
    end
end

We are only permitted to use the most basic MATLAB functions (i.e. for-loops and while-loops)

Matlab has the function "sum". Try help sum.
