Introduction to Programming with MATLAB


Lesson 3
Program 1

function x = odd_index(M)
x = M(1:2:end,1:2:end);

Program 2

function v = int_col(n)
x = [(n-1):-1:1];
y = [n;x'];
if n==2
v=[2;1]
else
temp = y(ceil(end/2),1);
y(ceil(end/2),1) = 1;
y(end,1) = temp;
v=y;
end

Program 3
function tot = rich(A)
tot = [(A(1,1)*1)+(A(1,2)*5)+(A(1,3)*10)+(A(1,4)*25)]/100;

Program 4
function [t,d] = light_time(v)
d = v.*1.609;
t = d./(300000*60);

Program 5

function c = pitty (ab)


x = ab.*ab;
c=sqrt(x*[1;1])

Program 6
function a = bottom_left(A,n)
a = A((end+1-n):end,1:n);

Program 7
function mm = mean_squares(nn)
mm=sum([1:nn].^2)/nn;

Program 8
function H = hulk(v)
x=v';
H=[x x.^2 x.^3];

Solutions to Homework 3
Problem odd_index:
function out = odd_index(M)
out = M(1:2:end, 1:2:end);
end
Problem int_col:
function v = int_col(n)
v = [n 1:n-1]';
end

Note that this is just one possible solution. There are many others.

Problem rich:
function usd = rich(cent)
usd = [0.01 0.05 0.10 0.25] * cent';
end

We use the fact that matrix multiplication sums up a set of products. Multiplying a row vector
with a column vector will result in a scalar. Here it performs the exact calculations we need.

Problem light_time:
function [mins km] = light_time(mile)

end

km = mile * 1.609;
mins = km / 3e5 / 60;

Problem pitty:
function c = pitty(ab)
end

c = sqrt(ab(:,1) .^ 2 + ab(:,2) .^2);

Problem pitty (alternative solution):


function c = pitty(ab)
end

c = sqrt(sum(ab' .^ 2))';

Here we use the fact that the function sum works column by column. So, transposing and then
squaring every element will put the squares of the corresponding a-s and b-s into columns. The
function sum then adds them up, and sqrt computes each element's square root. Finally, we
need to transpose the result back into a column vector.

Problem bottom_left:
function M = bottom_left(N,n)
end

M = N(end-n+1:end, 1:n);

We need the last n rows and the first n columns. The only trick here is that we need end-n+1,
because end-n:end would get us n+1 indexes and not n as required.

Problem mean_squares:
function mm = mean_squares(nn)
end

mm = mean((1:nn).^2);

Problem hulk:
function H = hulk(v)
end

H = [v' (v').^2 (v').^3];

Here we need to remember to transpose the vector to get the required arrangement.
