FAQs
MATLAB:
- Where is a manual for MATLAB? Try the library first. Most students only use the manual in the very beginning of their MATLAB experience. Once into it, the language is intuitive enough and there are enough sample M files that learning MATLAB is somewhat self-sustaining without manuals. Type "matlab" to execute intepreter, "help ?" to see listing of operators, "help" for listing of functions, "who" to see active variables, "what" for listing of M files and always use "clear" to start over again.
- How do you initialize the
dimension of a variable? One way is to initialize its values by zeros(M,N)
or ones(M,N). Ex: A=zeros(10,8) is a 10 x 8 matrix of zeroes. Another
function is "ones" which works the same way as
"zeros". Another method is nested loop, ie., 1:5 loops from 1 to
5 so A(1:5)=3:7 will store the values 3 to 7 in the first 5 elements of A.
