Example Questions Matlab Exam

This document provides 6 example questions for a Matlab exam with a total of 14 possible points. The examples ask about basic Matlab operations like selecting elements from a matrix, finding minimum/maximum/average values in a data set, using a while loop to increment a variable, debugging code to correctly count outcomes from rolling dice simulations, and using Boolean expressions to evaluate conditions involving dice rolls.

Example questions Matlab exam

Note that the total number of points on the exam is 20 p. These example questions gives max 14 p.

Example 1 (2p)

You have the matrix below:

A=

1 2 3 4

5 6 7 8

9 10 11 12

What will be displayed by the code: A(2:3,2:3)

Example 2 (2p)

The code below is written to find the highest and the lowest daily temperature, as well as
average temperature in June in Lund. There is one mistake in the code that most likely will give
the wrong result, which?

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
load dailyJune.txt

min = 0;
max = 0;
total = 0;

for i = 1:length(dailyJune)
if dailyJune(i) < min
min = dailyJune(i);
end
if dailyJune(i) > max
max = dailyJune(i);
end
total = total + dailyJune(i);
end
meanTemp = total/length(dailyJune)
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Example 3 (2p)

What will be displayed when you run the code below?

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
a = 0;

while a < 10
a = a + 3;
end

disp (a)
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Example 4 (2p)

The code below is written to count the number of successes for 1-6 number of eyes when
rolling a dice a great number of time. A user gives an input of 10 000 and the result seems to be
correct at a first glance:

1 - 1624 2 - 1624 3 - 1623 4- 1625 5 - 1622 6 – 1625

But the sum is 9743 and it should be 10000. Find the mistake in the code and explain why the
result is not correct.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
nbrRolls = input('Please give the number of rolls (min 10 000): ');

% For counting the number of rolls per result i.e. 1-6.


counter = zeros(1, 6);

for roll=1:nbrRolls
counter(randi(6)) = counter(randi(6)) + 1;
end
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Example 5 (2p)

The header below describes a function that can be used to encrypt a string. How would you call
that function in Matlab?

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
function [ encryptStr ] = encrypt( originalStr, offset )
%encrypt - this function performs a simple encryption of a given string.
%Each character is converted by the given offset in the ASCII table.
Example 6 (4p)

A Boolean expression is an expression that is evaluated to either true or false. You have used Boolean
expressions as conditions in e.g. if-statements.

You are rolling two dice, die1 and die2. Write expressions to find:

a) A result when one die shows 2 eyes and the other more than 3 eyes. (1p)
b) A result when both dice show less than 2 eyes. (1p)
c) A result when the sum of the two dice is larger than 8 eyes. (1p)
d) A result when the difference between the dice is larger than 2. (1p)
