1. CS 170 – INTRO TO SCIENTIFIC AND ENGINEERING PROGRAMMING

2. Functions What is a function? In Math In CS Hundreds of Matlab Functions! Input = Argument Can we have more than one argument? Can we have an array as a function argument? Which functions have we used so far? Find their arguments Is ‘end’ a function?

3. Matrix building functions zeros(n,m) Zeros ones(n,m) Ones eye(n,m) Zeros except that diagonal elements equal 1 rand(n,m) Random numbers uniformly distributed in the range from 0 to 1 randn(n,m) Random numbers normally distributed with mean equal to 0 and variance equal to 1

4. Polymorphism Ex. sqrt Scalar Array What does this mean? Function call with multiple forms Is it useful? Another form: varying number of arguments Ex. sum

5. Returning more than one objects Array of objects Ex. max

6. Keyboard input What is a user interface? Why do we need user input? Where is the user input entered? fave = input('Please type your favorite vector: '); What will be the value of fave?

7. Formatted output What is an output? Why should we format our output? Conversion and Escape characters Ex. >> fprintf('No.: %d, cost= %5.2f.\nTotal is %7.3f\n', 4, 3.1, 4*3.1); No.: 4, cost= 3.10. Total is 12.400

8. Intro to plotting with Matlab If X is a 1-by-N (or N-by-1 ) vector, and Y is a 1-by-N (or N-by-1 ) vector, then >> plot(X,Y) creates a figure window, and plots the data in the axis. The points plotted are (X(1),Y(1)), (X(2),Y(2)), …, (X(N),Y(N)). By default, Matlab will draw straight lines between the data points, and the points will not be explicitly marked. For more info, do >> help plot Example: >> X = linspace(0,3*pi,1000); >> Y = sin(X); >> plot(X,Y)

9. Plotting several lines If X1 and Y1 are both 1-by-N, and X2 and Y2 are both 1-by-M, then >> plot(X1,Y1,X2,Y2) will plot both sets of data on the same axis. Example >> X1 = linspace(0,pi,1000); >> Y1 = cos(4*X1).*sin(X1); >> X2 = [0 1 4 5]; >> plot(X1,Y1,X2,sqrt(X2))
