Exercises Scilab

This document provides instructions for a workshop on introduction to Scilab. It includes exercises on basic Scilab operations like calculations, matrices, plotting, conditional branching, and iteration. Participants will learn to perform calculations, operate on matrices, write scripts and functions, use conditional and iterative structures, and create plots. The exercises are divided into sections on getting started, matrix operations, scripts and functions, conditional branching, iteration, and plotting.

Workshop: Introduction to Scilab

Funded by the National Mission on Education through ICT


(The sequence of spoken tutorials to be listened/followed is same as that of exercise sets below.)
1. Getting Started
(a) 04:17: Perform the following calculations on the scilab command line:

5+1
51
psi =
phi =
2
2
Find 1/phi and 1/psi.
(b) 6:06: Verify Eulers identity: Is ei +1
close to zero?
Compare with cos() + i sin().
2. Matrix Operations
(a) 03:15: In Scilab, enter the following
Matrices:

1 1/2
A = 1/3 1/4
1/5 1/6




4 5/4 9/4
B = 5 2 , C =
1 2

Using Scilab commands, compute
each of the following, if possible.
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.
vi.
vii.

AC
AB
A + C0
B A C0 A
(2 C 6 A0 ) B 0

A A0 + C 0 C

Explain the errors, if any.


(b) 04:15: From the video:
i. Find E(:, :)
ii. Extract the second column of E
iii. Display just the first and last
columns1 of E.

1 1 0
(c) 05:46: If A = 2 3 1
4 1 5
Use a suitable sequence of row operations on A to bring A to upper triangular form.2

(d) 07:28: Represent the following linear


system as a matrix equation. Solve
the system using the inverse method:
x + y + 2z w
2x + 5y z 9w
2x + y z + 3w
x 3y + 2z + 7w

=3
= 3
= 11
= 5

(e) 08:01: Try solving the above system


using the backslash method.
(f) 08:38: Verify the solution from the
previous question.
(g) 09:38: Try det(A), A2 , A3 and Eigenvalues of A (from the previous question).
Also multiply A by an identity matrix
of the same size.
3. Scripts and Functions
(a) 02:48:
i. Create a scilab script file to display time on console window.
(hint: clock())
ii. Create a scilab script file to display product of a matrix A and
inverse of A. A = [1, 1; 1, 1]
iii. Create a scilab script file to plot
x vs sin(x). x varies from -2p
to 2p, where p is specified at the
beginning of the script file.
(b) 05:04:
i. Create a function file to calculate sum and difference of any
two numbers. The output should
be the sum and the difference of
numbers.
ii. Create a function file to calculate the rowwise and columnwise
mean and standard deviation of a
user defined matrix. Display the
matrix, its mean and standard deviation in output. (hint; mean(),
stdev() )
(c) 09:05:

1
Tip: from a given matrix E, desired columns can be specified by defining a vector v consisting of just the desired
column indices and using E(:, v). Similarly for rows also.
2
Upper triangular matrix: all elements below the North-West to South-East diagonal of the matrix are zero.

i. Create an inline function to sort


the elements of a random vector in descending order. (hint:
gsort())
ii. Create an inline function to round
off the elements of a vector [1.9,
2.3, -1.1, 50.5] to the nearest integer. (hint: round())
(d) 10:30:
i. Create a function file to calculate LU factorization of a matrix.
(hint: lu()).
ii. Create a function file to that
takes two matrices A and B as input. Calculate their trace.
A. If trace of A is greater than
trace of B, then display 1.
B. If trace of B is greater than
trace of A, then display -1.
C. If both traces are equal, then
display 0.
(e) Create a function file to evaluate and
plot following function for x(x varies
from -1 to 1 with step size of 0.1).
f (x) = x2 sin(x),
x60
x(x) = cos(x),
x>0
(hint : if else)
(f) Create an inline scilab function file to
3-d plot of parametric curve (Given
a=2).
t = varies form 0 to 2 (with 100 intermediate points).
x = a cos(t);

y = a sin(t);

(hint : linspace(), param3d())


4. Conditional Branching
Note the importance of end at the end of
the if-then-else-end construct.
(a) 1:20: Write a code to check if a given
number n is less than or equal to 10,
if yes, display its square.(for n = 4, 13
and 10)
(b) 2:04: Write a code to check if a number is less than 10, if yes, then display
> 10, if it is greater than 10, then
display > 10, else display the number. (for n = 4, 13 and 10)
(c) 2:26: Write the previous code in one
line.

(d) 3:09: Write a code using select


case conditional construct to check
whether a given number is a multiple
of 10 (take 5 values/multiples), and if
so, display the number.
5. Iteration
(a) 0:42: Create a vector starting from 1
to 10
(b) 1:02: Create a vector from 2 to 20
with an increment of 3
(c) 1:55: Write a for loop to display all
the even numbers between 1 to 50
(d) 2:55: Write a code that takes as input
a vector x=1:10, displays the values
of x one by one and comes out of loop
when the value of x is 8.
(e) 3:31: Write a code that takes an input
vector x=1:2:10 and displays only last
two values of the vector.
(f) 4:44: Find summation of vector x =
[1 2 6 4 2], using iterative procedure.
Hint: Check length(), add each number using for loop.
(g) 5:20: Write a code using while loop to
display odd numbers in the range 1 to
25.
(h) 5:40: Write a code using while to
which take input from 0 to 15 in increments of 1 and display number 10
and 15
6. Plotting
(a) 01:12: Create a linearly spaced vector
from 0 to 1 with 10 points
(b) 01:12: Also create a linearly spaced
vector from 0 to 1 with 11 points
(c) 01:35: plot sin(x) versus x.
(d) 02:50: Use plot2d and try changing
the color to red. Also try style = -1
(e) 03:53: Put a title: Sine, and labels,
x axis and y axis
(f) 05:50: Plot sin(x) and cos(x) on the
same window.
(g) 06:08: Create a legend for the above
plots.
(h) 09:25: Now plot sin(x) and cos(x) as
subplots within the same window.
(i) 10:10: Save your plot as a file.
