Summary of MATLAB Onramp

Basic Syntax
Example Description
x = pi Create variables and assign values with the equal sign (=).
The left side (x) is the variable name, and the right side (pi) is its value.
y = sin(-5) Provide inputs to a function using parentheses.

Desktop Management
Function Example Description
save save data.mat Save your current workspace to a MAT-file.
load load data.mat Load the variables in a MAT-file to the 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 appears in the Command Window.

Array Types
Example Description
4 scalar
[3 5] row vector
[1;3] column vector
[3 4 5; 6 7 8] matrix

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

Matrix Creation
Example Description
rand(2) Create a square matrix with 2 rows and 2 columns.
zeros(2,3) Create a rectangular matrix with 2 rows and 3 columns of 0s.
ones(2,3) Create a rectangular matrix with 2 rows and 3 columns of 1s.

Array 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) = 11 Change the value of the second element of an array to 11.

Array Operations
Example Description
[1 2; 3 4] + 1
ans =
2 3
4 5 Perform array addition.
[1 1; 1 1]*[2 2; 2 2]
ans =
4 4
4 4 Perform matrix multiplication.
[1 1; 1 1].*[2 2; 2 2]
ans =
2 2
2 2 Perform element-wise multiplication.

Multiple Outputs
Example Description
[xrow,xcol] = size(x) Save the number of rows and columns in x to two different
variables.
[xMax,idx] = max(x) Calculate the maximum value of x and its corresponding
index value.

Documentation
Example Description
doc randi Open the documentation page for the randi function.

Plots
Example Description
plot(x,y,"ro--","LineWidth",5) Plot a red (r) dashed (--) line with a
circle (o) marker, with a heavy line width.
hold on Add the next line to the existing plot.
hold off Create new axes for the next plotted line.
title("My Title") Add a title to a plot.
xlabel("x")
ylabel("y") Add labels to axes.
legend("a","b","c") Add a legend to a plot.

Tables
Example Description
data.HeightYards Extract the variable HeightYards from the table data.
data.HeightMeters = data.HeightYards*0.9144 Derive a table variable from
existing data.

Logical Indexing
Example Description
[5 10 15] > 12 Compare the elements of a vector to the value 12.
v1(v1 > 6) Extract all elements of v1 that are greater than 6.
x(x==999) = 1 Replace all values in x that are equal to 999 with the value 1.

Programming
Example Description
if x > 0.5
y = 3
else
y = 4
end If x is greater than 0.5, set y to 3.

Otherwise, set y to 4.
for c = 1:3
disp(c)
end The loop counter (c) progresses through the
values 1:3 (1, 2, and 3).

The loop body displays each value of c.
