Creating matrices Loops


Colons:
1:N = 1, 2, ... N for (i = 1:10)
5:2:11 = 5, 7, 9, 11 ...
linspace: end
linspace(0, 20) - 100 evenly spaced points from
0 to 20 Graphing
linspace(0, 20, 500) - 500 evenly spaced points Basic line graph.
x = linspace(-2, 2);
A = zeros(r, c) - r × c matrix, all zeros y = sin(x);
A = ones(r, c) - r × c matrix, all ones plot(x, y);
A = ones(r, 1) - r-long column vector, all ones
Plotting data as dots.
plot(x, y, ’.’);
Accessing, Modifying Matrices
V = 2:2:10 - 5 element vector, “2,4,6,8,10” Plotting line in red.
V(3) - 3rd element of V (“6”) plot(x, y, ’r’);
V(end) - gives last element of V (“10”) Plotting dots in green.
A = ones(10, 20) - create A a 10 ×20 matrix of plot(x, y, ’.g’);
1’s Common colours:
A(1:3,10:20) = 2 - Changes entries in rows 1-3 r (red), b (blue), k (black), g (green), y (yellow)
and cols 10-20 (inclusive) to value 2. Changing dot size.
A(end, 1) - Gets last entry in column 1 plot(x, y, ’.’, ’markersize’, 10);
Changing line width.
Reading from Files plot(x, y, ’linewidth’, 3);
M = csvread(’matrix_filename.csv’); - reads M
Multiple plots on the same axes.

Cubing (powers):
Logarithmic:
x = linspace(0, 3);
ln(x) is log(x)
y = x.^3
log10 (x) is log10(x)
Products (e.g. computing cos(x) · x):
Exponential:
x = linspace(0, 3);
ex is exp(x)
y = cos(x).*x
ex 2x is 2^x
Division (computing ):

x = linspace(0, 3);
y = exp(x)./x
