MATLAB - VECTORS

http://www.tutorialspoint.com/matlab/matlab_vectors.htm Copyright © tutorialspoint.com

A vector is a one-dimensional array of numbers. MATLAB allows creating two types of vectors −

Row vectors
Column vectors

Row Vectors
Row vectors are created by enclosing the set of elements in square brackets, using space or
comma to delimit the elements.

r = [7 8 9 10 11]

MATLAB will execute the above statement and return the following result −

r =

7 8 9 10 11

Column Vectors
Column vectors are created by enclosing the set of elements in square brackets, using semicolon
to delimit the elements.

c = [7; 8; 9; 10; 11]

MATLAB will execute the above statement and return the following result −

c =
7
8
9
10
11

Referencing the Elements of a Vector

You can reference one or more of the elements of a vector in several ways. The ith component of
a vector v is referred as vi. For example −

v = [ 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6]; % creating a column vector of 6 elements


v(3)

MATLAB will execute the above statement and return the following result −

ans = 3

When you reference a vector with a colon, such as v: , all the components of the vector are listed.

v = [ 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6]; % creating a column vector of 6 elements


v(:)
MATLAB will execute the above statement and return the following result −

ans =
1
2
3
4
5
6

MATLAB allows you to select a range of elements from a vector.

For example, let us create a row vector rv of 9 elements, then we will reference the elements 3 to
7 by writing rv3: 7 and create a new vector named sub_rv.

rv = [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9];
sub_rv = rv(3:7)

MATLAB will execute the above statement and return the following result −

sub_rv =

3 4 5 6 7

Vector Operations
In this section, let us discuss the following vector operations −

Addition and Subtraction of Vectors

Scalar Multiplication of Vectors

Transpose of a Vector

Appending Vectors

Magnitude of a Vector

Vector Dot Product

Vectors with Uniformly Spaced Elements
