Experiment 2

Introduction to Directory Navigation, Concatenation, Indexing,


Logical Indexing, Modification and Saving Graphical Output
Aim: To understand and implement fundamental MATLAB programming concepts, including
directory navigation, concatenation, indexing, relational and logical operators, logical
indexing, modification of array, plotting, and generating graphical output.

Tools Required: MATLAB Desktop or MATLAB online


Theory:
1. Navigating Directory

Explain the purpose and usage of the following commands:

• what:
• cd:
• pwd:
• type:
• mkdir:
• edit:

2. Generating Random Numbers


What are the applications of random numbers?
How can we generate 3x4 matrix having uniformly distributed random numbers
between 0 and 1?
How can we generate 2x2 matrix having normally distributed random numbers?
Additionally, how can we generate random integer numbers between two given values
[take any two values] with a desired size [take any size like 2x3]?

3. Concatenation of Arrays:
How to join two vectors in one row or in one column or in a form of matrix (both vectors
act as two rows OR two columns).
How to join matrices.

4. Index and Indexing:


• Define what an index is and how indexing works in MATLAB.
• Make a vector and matrix then perform the following operation:
▪ Extract, modify, and delete elements from a vector.
▪ Extract an element, submatrix, entire row, or entire column from a matrix.
▪ Use the end keyword to access the last row or column of a matrix.

5. Relational and Logical Operators:


▪ Describe the following relational operators and their meanings:
o == (equal to), < (less than), > (greater than), <= (less than or equal to),
>= (greater than or equal to), ~= (not equal to).

▪ Explain how to combine conditions using logical operators:


o & (AND), | (OR).

6. Logical Indexing:
• Define logical indexing and its purpose.
• Make a vector and write a short code to:
o Find the number of elements greater than a threshold (take any value)
using logical indexing.
o Modify those elements that greater than a threshold using logical
indexing.

7. Plotting:
• Explain how to create a plot when two vectors x and y are given by writing a
short program to demonstrate:
o Adding a title to the plot.
o Changing the x and y limits.
o Adding x and y labels.
o Changing the fonts size
o Plotting two graphs on the same figure.
o Adding legends to distinguish between plots.

8. Taking Graphical Output:

Explain how to save a plot using the exportgraphics function.

Schematic Diagram/Code Output: You can paste your plot here.


Procedure/Code: you can write one or two working MATLAB Code related to indexing
and plots. OR write these codes in the relevant sections/headings.

9. Observations:
Write your observations about MATLAB based on your experience in this experiment. For
example:

• Is it possible to expand matrices based on earlier matrices available in the


workspace?
• How does logical indexing simplify complex problems?
• How useful are relational operators for specifying conditions?
• Is plotting useful for visualizing large datasets? Can plots be annotated?

10. Important Points


Write some important points to remember and what you learned from the experiment. e.g:

• What precautions should you take while joining two matrices together? Describe the
conditions required to concatenate two matrices (e.g., compatible dimensions).
• Why is it important to save plots?
• How can logical indexing and relational operators improve code efficiency?
