Brief Introduction to Matlab
- 1. Introduction to Matlab By: TARIQ
- 2. MATLAB Stands for MATrix LABoratory. program for doing numerical computation. originally designed for solving linear algebra type problems using matrices.
- 3. MATLAB The MATLAB environment is command oriented somewhat like UNIX. A prompt appears on the screen and a MATLAB statement can be entered. When the <ENTER> key is pressed, the statement is executed, and another prompt appears. If a statement is terminated with a semicolon ( ; ), no results will be displayed. Otherwise results will appear before the next prompt.
- 4. Matlab Screen Command Window type commands Current Directory View folders and m-files Workspace View program variables Double click on a variable to see it in the Array Editor Command History view past commands save a whole session using diary
- 5. MATLAB Variable Names Variable names ARE case sensitive Variable names can contain up to 63 characters. Variable names must start with a letter followed by letters, digits, and underscores.
- 6. MATLAB Special Variables ans Default variable name for results pi Value of eps Smallest incremental number inf Infinity NaN Not a number e.g. 0/0 i and j i = j = square root of -1 realmin The smallest usable positive real number realmax The largest usable positive real number
- 7. MATLAB To get started, type one of these commands: helpwin, helpdesk, or demo » a=5; » b=a/2 b = 2.5000 »
- 8. MATLAB Math & Assignment Operators Power ^ or .^ a^b or a.^b Multiplication * or .* a*b or a.*b Division / or ./ a/b or a./b or \ or .\ b\a or b.\a NOTE: 56/8 = 8\56 - (unary) + (unary) Addition + a + b Subtraction - a - b Assignment = a = b (assign b to a )
- 9. Other MATLAB symbols >> prompt . . . continue statement on next line , separate statements and data % start comment which ends at end of line ; (1) suppress output (2) used as a row separator in a matrix : specify range
- 10. MATLAB Matrices MATLAB treats all variables as matrices. For our purposes a matrix can be thought of as an array, in fact, that is how it is stored. Vectors are special forms of matrices and contain only one row OR one column. Scalars are matrices with only one row AND one column
- 11. MATLAB Matrices A matrix with only one row AND one column is a scalar. A scalar can be created in MATLAB as follows: » a_value=23 a_value = 23
- 12. MATLAB Matrices A matrix can be created in MATLAB as follows (note the commas AND semicolons): » matrix = [1 , 2 , 3 ; 4 , 5 ,6 ; 7 , 8 , 9] matrix = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
- 13. MATLAB Matrices A column vector can be extracted from a matrix. As an example we create a matrix below: » matrix=[1,2,3;4,5,6;7,8,9] matrix = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Here we extract column 2 of the matrix and make a column vector: » col_two=matrix( : , 2) col_two = 2 5 8
- 14. Plotting with MATLAB MATLAB will plot one vector vs. another. The first one will be treated as the abscissa (or x) vector and the second as the ordinate (or y) vector. The vectors have to be the same length. MATLAB will also plot a vector vs. its own index. The index will be treated as the abscissa vector. Given a vector “time” and a vector “dist” we could say: >> plot (time, dist) % plotting versus time >> plot (dist) % plotting versus index
- 15. Plotting with MATLAB There are commands in MATLAB to "annotate" a plot to put on axis labels, titles, and legends. For example: >> % To put a label on the axes we would use: >> xlabel ('X-axis label') >> ylabel ('Y-axis label') >> % To put a title on the plot, we would use: >> title ('Title of my plot')
- 16. Some Useful MATLAB commands who List known variables whos List known variables plus their size help >> help sqrt Help on using sqrt lookfor >> lookfor sqrt Search for keyword sqrt in m-files what >> what a: List MATLAB files in a: clear Clear all variables from work space clear x y Clear variables x and y from work space clc Clear the command window
- 17. Some Useful MATLAB commands what List all m-files in current directory dir List all files in current directory ls Same as dir type test Display test.m in command window delete test Delete test.m cd a: Change directory to a: chdir a: Same as cd pwd Show current directory which test Display directory path to ‘closest’ test.m
- 18. A Useless, But Interesting, MATLAB command why In case you ever needed a reason
- 19. MATLAB Relational Operators MATLAB supports six relational operators. Less Than < Less Than or Equal <= Greater Than > Greater Than or Equal >= Equal To == Not Equal To ~=
- 20. MATLAB Logical Operators MATLAB supports three logical operators. not ~ % highest precedence and & % equal precedence with or or | % equal precedence with and
