Variables Declaration and Example

In MATLAB, a variable is like a storage container for data. You dont need to define the typeMATLAB

figures it out!

How to Declare a Variable:

x = 10; % A number

name = 'Ali'; % A text

status = true; % A logical value

Rules:

- Must begin with a letter

- Can include letters, numbers, underscores

- Case-sensitive (e.g., score = Score)

Tip: Use meaningful names like `averageScore` instead of just `a` or `x`.
2. Vectors and Matrices

Vectors and Matrices are basic data structures in MATLAB.

Vectors:

- Row vector: a = [1 2 3]

- Column vector: b = [1; 2; 3]

Matrix:

- A = [1 2 3; 4 5 6]

Differences:

- Vectors = one dimension (1D)

- Matrices = two dimensions (2D)

- Matrices support advanced operations like multiplication, transpose, and inverse

Use Case:

- Vectors: storing scores, temperatures

- Matrices: image data, linear equations


3. Loop Instruction

Loops help you repeat actions!

1. For Loop:

Used when you know how many times to repeat.

Example:

for i = 1:5

disp(i)

end

2. While Loop:

Used when you repeat *until* something happens.

Example:

i = 1;

while i <= 5

disp(i)

i = i + 1;

end

Tip: Make sure your while loop ends; otherwise, it runs forever!
4. Condition in MATLAB

Conditions help MATLAB make decisions using if-else logic.

Example:

x = 5;

if x > 0

disp('Positive')

elseif x == 0

disp('Zero')

else

disp('Negative')

end

Types:

- if

- if-else

- if-elseif-else

- Nested conditions

You can also use logical operators:

- && (and)

- || (or)

- ~ (not)

Conditionals = essential for building smart, responsive programs!
