 Mathematical Functions
 Some mathematical functions you have used. MATLAB as a programing language
 sqrt(x), round(x)
 sum(x), sum(x, dim), sum(sum(x))
 prod(x), prod(x, dim), prod(prod(x))
 max(x), min(x) over array or matrix (column/row)
 sin(x), asin(x), log(x), log10(x), exp(x)

 What are Scripts ?  Scripts

 Script- Sequential collection of commands  Creating, saving and running a script.

 File extension .m  Scripts can be written in any text-editor like notepad,

 Could be very basic, more like MATLAB as a calculator notepad++, and others.

 Earlier, we have executed commands in Command window  MATLAB editor –specialized for creating M-files and graphical

which could not be saved or executed several times. MATLAB debugger: Highly recommended

 What do we do ?  edit edit filename.m

 Create a file with list of commands  Variables overwritten – Take extreme care
 Save the file  Commenting scripts--- Very Very Important
 Run the file  Matrix operations, etc.,
 Run scripts from command window

 What are Functions?  Scripts Vs Functions

 Function- similar to scripts with file extension .m
 Programs or routines that accept certain input arguments and
produce one or more outputs.
 Each function has its own area of workspace - Important
 Different inbuilt functions you have already used
 User-defined functions
 [outputs] = function_name(inputs)

 Let’s Try more Scripts and Functions

 [outputs] = function_name(inputs)

 Area of trapezoid
 Temperature conversion from Fahrenheit to Centrigrade
 C = 5/9 X (F - 32).
 Output Commands
Control Flow and Operators
 disp
 fprintf

 Control Flow  Control Flow

 MATLAB is also a programming language  Relational and Logical Operators
 Decision making or control flow  Relational: compares two

structures to control command numbers and determines whether

execution statement is true of false

 Or(A,B) , and(A,B)
 Control Flow
 if  for … end
 If … end, if … else …  for variable = expression
statements
end, if elseif … else …
end
end  Compute A.^2 using for loop and compare
 Examples on using if  Nested Loops

 Relational and Logical Operators  for
 Relational: compares two  Good idea to indent the loops for enhanced readability
numbers and determines whether  Examples using nested loops
statement is true of false  While … end
 Or(A,B) , and(A,B)  while expression
statements
 for … end end
 for variable = expression  Be careful of indefinite loops
statements
end  Extreme care for Equality comparisons
 Precision errors (eps)
 Compute A.^2 using for loop and compare
 Nested Loops

 Practice Problem  Practice Problem

 Consider
 Create a row vector, 𝐀, of size 1×5 such that each member is
 A = Magic matrix of size 5
square of its column number
 B = Magic matrix of size 3
𝐀 = [ 1 4 9 16 25 ]
 Add elements from (1, 1) to (3, 3) from both matrix. Call it matrix
 Create another vector, 𝑩, of size 1×5 such that each member is
C.
double of its column number
 Find ‘square of max (C) – cube of min (C)’
𝑩 = [ 2 4 6 8 10 ]
 Find the product of max(𝑨) and min(𝑩)

 Control Flow  Operator Precedence

 break statement in while  The order in which MATLAB evaluates an expression
and for loops
 continue statement in for
loop
 return, continue,
switch

 Let’s try out a few examples

 Practice Quiz  Cheat Sheet

Create a magic matrix A of size 4
Assign its main diagonal to another variable B
Change the elements of B by their squares
Assign 1st row of A to C and last column of A to D
Multiply 1st element of C with 1st element of D
Multiply 2nd element of C with 2nd element of D and so on…
Call this new array E

What is the combined sum of all elements in B and E?

 Cheat Sheet  Acceptable Tolerance: an Example

 Consider three variables:
a = 0.3;
b = 0.2;
c = 0.1;
 If (a – b – c) equals ZERO, print ‘Good to
go.’
If not, print ‘Something is fishy.’
 The way out?
Use the concept of acceptable tolerance.
