HELP :: if() problems encountered

[shoker_17]

Status            : Beginner

Version           : Octave 2.1.72
Purpose          : image Processing
Problem          : If () statement
Descriptions   : I was trying to manipulate a matrix in image intensity. The
main idea was to retrieve those data that were less than 1 from monoColor.

##to find the number of consecutive black pixels horizontally
##monoColor : image intensity of 32 rows and columns
for x = 1 : row
        for y = 1 : column
                if(monoColor(x,y) < 1)                 //tryin to find values 
in monoColor
less than 1
                        test(x,y)= monoColor(x, y);
                endif
          endfor
endfor

In the above code, i was trying to find the values in the matrix which are
less than 1.
However, to my dismay, I did not manage to get results i wanted. Instead, i
obtained the same number of rows and columns. Besides thism the values
smaller than 1 and 1 were also obtained. 

Maybe i used the syntax wrongly  else "<1" doesnt seems to work at all.
*weird*
