Lecture 8

The document covers relational and logical operators in MATLAB, explaining their functions and providing examples of their usage. It details how relational operators compare values and return Boolean results, while logical operators work with those Boolean values to combine conditions. Additionally, the document includes exercises for practicing these concepts with MATLAB code.

LECTURE # 8
RELATIONAL OPERATORS &
LOGICAL OPERATORS
Relational operators
 A relational operator performs a comparison and returns true or false
(Boolean values)
 Examples
1 > 2 → False
(12/4) == 1.5*2 → True
 In MATLAB
true is represented as 1
false is represented as 0
Relational Operators in MATLAB

> greater than


>= greater than or equal to
< less than
<= less than or equal to
== equal to
~= not equal to
Example
>> x = 2;
>> y = 10;
>> y/x >= 5
ans =
1
>> y/5 ~= x
ans =
0
Relational operations can be performed on matrices
(element by element)
>> x = [5 6 7; 8 9 10];
>> y = [2 4 6; 8 10 12];
>> z = x >= y
z =
1 1 1
1 0 0
Logical operators
 Logical operators work with Boolean values
 Logical operators in MATLAB:

& and combines 2 result is true if both


conditions conditions are true
| or combines 2 result is true if either
conditions condition is true
~ not negates a result is true if condition
condition is false
and (&) example
>> x = 2; 0 1

>> y = 10;
>> rem(x,5) == 0 & rem(y,5) == 0
ans =
Requires both conditions
to be 1 (true) to give 1
0 (true)
as an answer
and (&) example
>> x = 2;
>> y = 10;
>> rem(x,5) == 0 & rem(y,5) == 0
ans =
0
or (|) example
>> x = 2; 0 1

>> y = 10;
>> rem(x,5) == 0 | rem(y,5) == 0
ans =
Requires at least one
condition to be true to
1 give an true as an
answer
Exercise 1:
• Write MATLAB code to compare elements of two matrices A and B,
and return a matrix of logical values (true/false) indicating whether
each element in A is greater than or equal to the corresponding
element in B.
