1.1 MATLAB as a Calculator1.1 MATLAB as a Calculator

MATLAB performs simple calculations as if it were a calculator. The basic arithmetic operators are + - * / ^ and these are used in conjunction with brackets: (parentheses ). The symbol^ is used to get exponents (powers): 2^4=16.You should type in commands shown following the prompt: >> (in command window).For example, type 5+3 and press the ENTER key:

» 5+3ans = 8

Matlab works according to the priorities (Operator precedence ):1. quantities in brackets,2. powers 2 + 3^2 )2 + 9 = 11,3. * /, working left to right (3*4/5=12/5),4. + -, working left to right (3+4-5=7-5),Thus, the earlier calculation was for 2 + (3/4)*5 by priority 3.

1.2 Defining Variables1.2 Defining Variables

Variables are named locations in memory where numbers, strings and other elements of data may be stored while the program is working. Variable names are combinations of letters , digits, andthe underscore character, but must start with a latter (These are allowable: NetCost, Left2Pay, x3, X3, z25c)We define variables by typing a variable name followed by the equals sign and then a value or a mathematical expression. Example: » A5=6 A5 = 6

1.2 Defining Variables-cont1.2 Defining Variables-cont

Variable types:Not all variables are created equal.

The most commonly used unit of computer storage is the byte, itself made of up 8 bits.

A byte represents an 8-bit binary number, i.e. it is an eight digit number in base 2 (as opposed to base 10 or decimal with which we are most familiar.)

9


Variable types:

A byte can thus hold the equivalent of decimal integers 0 (000000002) through 255 (111111112).

To represent other forms of information than simply the integers 0-255, computers use different types of encoding and groups of bytes to represent e.g. letters, punctuation, and numbers of greater precision and magnitude.

10


Variable types:

The byte arose as the fundamental unit because it is capable of representing all the most common numbers, letters (upper and lower case), punctuation, and special control characters commonly used in computer communication (things like <ENTER>, <ESC>, <BACKSPACE>, etc.). The most common encoding for alpha-numerics is the American Standard Code for Information Interchange, or ASCII.

11


MATLAB does not require you to declare the names of variables in advance of their use. This is actually a common cause of error.

variable names are case sensitive variable names start with a letter and can contain up to 31 characters which include letters, digits and underscore ( punctuation characters and math operators are not allowed)

12


To know what is stored in a variable type its name at the command prompt

Matlab has built in variable names. the following are some of the built in variables: (ans, pi, eps, flops,

inf, NaN or nan, i , j, nargin, nargout, realmin, realmax). Avoid using built-in names.

13


14


Rules for Variable Names:Although variable names can be of any length, MATLAB uses only the first N characters of the name, (where N is the number returned by the function

namelengthmax), and ignores the rest.

>>N = namelengthmaxN =

1.3 Functions(1.3 Functions(Built-In Built-In Functions)Functions)

» Except for basic commands such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, most MATLAB commands are functions. Functions usually require an input argument (such as x above) and they return value.

A) Trigonometric FunctionsThose known to Matlab are sin, cos, tan and their arguments

should be in radians. e.g. to work out the coordinates of a point on a circle of

radius 5 centered at the origin and having an elevation 30o = pi/ 6 radians:

>> x = 5*cos(pi/6), y = 5*sin(pi/6)x = 4.3301y = 2.5000

1.5 Saving the Variables Stored in 1.5 Saving the Variables Stored in MemoryMemory

Suppose a large number of variables are defined. You need to quit using MATLAB f o r the moment, but you would

like to use these variables in the future.

This can be done in two ways:

1. Use the MATLAB menus and use the File and Save Workspace As menu selections.

2. Or you can use the MATLABSAVE command.

23


Example:» a=l;» b=2;» c=3;» d=4;» e=5;» f=6;» g=7;» who

» saveSaving to: mat lab. mat

%To see that we can restore the variables, let's clear the workspace:

24


Example-cont:» clear» whoYour variables are:No variables are in memory.

%Now let's use the LOAD command to load the default file, matlab.mat, and restore the variables:

loadLoading from: matlab.mat» who

25


Example-cont:%If you wish to save the variables in a file with a different name, you

can use the LOAD and SAVE commands followed by a file name » save xyzzy

%Let's clear the workspace and restore the variables using file xyzzy.» clear» whoYour variables are:No variables are defined.%To load the variables saved in file xyzzy, use the LOAD command

with the file name:

» load xyzzy» who

26


Example-2:» a=5;» A=7.9;» aa = 5» AA = 7.9000» clc» who

27

Example-cont:» save A a (A: File name a: variable to be saved)» clear Now list the variables stored in memory:» whoYour variables are:Now no variables are listed.»load A» whoYour variables are: As X

» Pure imaginary and complex numbers are expressed in MATLAB by the letters i or j. Both i and j are defined as . If we take the square root of -1, MATLAB displays a number containing the letter i. The MATLAB SQRT function calculates the square root of a number.

Remember: There is no “degrees” mode in Matlab. All angles are in radians.

33

MATLAB can store several numerical values in a single variable. For most of the text, we'll refer to these variables as arrays. MATLAB however, treats these variables as either matrices or arrays.

In MATLAB the default uses matrix algebra rather than array operations. Array operations are defined as element-by-element operations.

1.8 Matrices and Vectors1.8 Matrices and VectorsIn this section we will use the terms matrix and vector.A vectoris a matrix with one row (a row vector) or one column (a column vector).

Row VectorsA row vector is an 1-by-n matrix so the number of rows is always one. The number of columns can be any integer value except one.

Column VectorsA column vector is an n-by-1 matrix so the number of columns is always one. The number of Rows can be any integer value except one.

35


ScalarsAny single element or numerical value. Or said other way, any vector or matrix that has one row and one column. (Its size is equal to 1,1.)

Square MatricesAny matrix that has the number of rows equal to the number of columns (m = n).

In MATLAB matrices and vectors are created using square brackets [ ]. Rows are separated by the semicolon character (;).

36


• Vectors (arrays) are defined as• >> v = [1, 2, 4, 5]• >> w = [1; 2; 4; 5]

• Matrices (2D arrays) defined similarly• >> A = [1,2,3;4,-5,6;5,-6,7]
