Try it Option Online


You really do not need to set up your own environment to start learning MATLAB
Octave. Reason is very simple, we already have set up MATLAB Octave environment
online, so that you can execute all the available examples online at the same time
when you are doing your theory work. This gives you confidence in what you are
reading and to check the result with different options. Feel free to modify any
example and execute it online.

Try the following example using Try it option available at the top right corner of the
below sample code box −

x = [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10];
y1 = [.16 .08 .04 .02 .013 .007 .004 .002 .001 .0008 ];
y2 = [.16 .07 .03 .01 .008 .003 .0008 .0003 .00007 .00002 ];

semilogy(x,y1,'-bo;y1;',x,y2,'-kx;y2;');
title('Plot title');
xlabel('X Axis');
ylabel('Y Axis');
print -deps graph.eps

For most of the examples given in this tutorial, you will find Try it option, so just make
use of it and enjoy your learning.
