Summary of MATLAB Onramp

Basic syntax

Example Description

x = pi Create variables with the equal sign (=).

The left-side (x) is the variable name containing the value on the right-side
(pi).

y = You can provide inputs to a function using parentheses.


sin(-5)

Desktop management

Functi
Example Description
on

save save Save your current workspace to a MAT-file.


data.mat

load load Load the variables in a MAT-file to the


data.mat Workspace.

clear clear Clear all variables from the Workspace.

clc clc Clear all text from the Command Window.

format format long Change how numeric output is displayed.

Array types

Example Description

4 scalar
[3 5] row vector

[1;3] column
vector

[3 4 5;6 7 matrix
8]

Evenly-spaced vectors

Example Description

1:4 Create a vector from 1 to 4, spaced by 1, using the colon (:) operator.

1:0.5:4 Create a vector from 1 to 4, spaced by 0.5.

linspace(1,10 Create a vector with 5 elements. The values are evenly spaced from 1 to
,5) 10.

Creating matrices

Example Description

rand(2) Create a square matrix with 2 rows and 2 columns.

zeros(2, Create a rectangular matrix with 2 rows and 3


3) columns.

Indexing

Example Description

A(end,2 Access the element in the second column of the last


) row.
A(2,:) Access the entire second row

A(1:3,: Access all columns of the first three rows.


)

A(2) = Change the value of the second element an array to


11 11.

Array operations

Example Description

[1 1; 1 1]*[2 2;2
Perform matrix multiplication.
2]
ans =
4 4
4 4

[1 1; 1 1].*[2 2;2
Perform element-wise
2]
multiplication.
ans =
2 2
2 2

Multiple outputs

Example Description

[xrow,xcol] = Save the number of rows and columns in x to two different


size(x) variables.

[xMax,idx] = Calculate the maximum value of x and its corresponding index


max(x) value.

Documentation
Example Description

doc Open the documentation page for the randi


randi function.

Plotting

Example Description

plot(x,y,"ro-","LineWidth Plot a red (r) dashed (--) line with a


",5)
circle (o) marker, with a heavy line width.

hold on Add the next line to existing plot.

hold off Create a new axes for the next plotted


line.

title("My Title") Add a label to a plot.

Using tables

Example Description

data.HeightYards Extract the variable HeightYards from

the table data.

data.HeightMeters = Derive a table variable from existing


data.HeightYards*0.9144 data.

Logicals

Example Description
[5 10 15] > Compare a vector to the value 12.
12

v1(v1 > 6) Extract all elements in v1 that are greater than 6.

x(x==999) = Replace all values in x that are equal to 999 with the value
1 1.

Programming

Example Description

if x > 0.5
If x is greater than 0.5, set the value of y to 3.
y = 3
else
y = 4
end Otherwise, set the value of y to 4.

for c =
The loop counter (c) progresses through the
1:3
values 1:3 (1, 2, and 3).
disp(c)
end

The loop body displays each value of c.
