Matlab tricks
Clear all (to clean workspace)
Clc (to clean command window)
Use of Semi colon ‘’;’’ at the end of command
(to perform the command but not show in the command window) 0r (to hide)
To form polynomial from roots
Example
>> x=[1 2 3] press enter
Then
>> poly (x) then press enter
You get
Ans = 1 -6 11 -6 ( which means x^3 -6x^2 +11x-6 )
Work in command window
x=5
x=
>> y=[1 2 3]
y=
1 2 3
>> poly(y)
ans =
1 -6 11 -6
>> roots(y)
ans =
-1.0000 + 1.4142i
-1.0000 - 1.4142i
Work in SCRIPT
clc
clear all
x=[1 2 3]
poly(x)
roots(x)
out put in C W
x=
1 2 3
ans =
1 -6 11 -6
ans =
-1.0000 + 1.4142i
-1.0000 - 1.4142i
Trignomatric functions and their inverses
Matlab consider the command of these function in radian
Examples:
A=Sin(90)
= 0.8940
B=Sin (pi/2)
=1
Inverse
(using a in start of trignomatric function which shows the inverse )
I= a cos(1)
=0
Square root
J=sqrt(16)
=4
Absolute value
K=abs(-8.4)
=8.4
Sign function (with out put just 0,1,-1)
L=sign(-8)
=-1
M=sign(0)
=0
L=sign(8)
=1
Conjugate of a function:
L=cong(8+3i)
=8-3i
Real or imag part of a complex number
p=real(8+3i)
=8
q=imag(8+3i)
=3
exponentional function:
r=exp(1)
= 2.7183
power of a number
s=5^3
=125
logarithm function and logarithm function with base 10
t=log(exp(1))
=1
u= log10(exp(1))
=0.4343
v= log10(100)
=2
Angle of a complex number
w=angle(8+3i)
= 0.3588
formatting of numbers
use percentage sign % and the write something like heading,to remember something ,
for beauty , to point out , or some values or function names or method, for remind us,
not a part of code.
Round off a number
x=round(5.678)
=6
ceil a number (to get next upper number)
x=ceil(5.378)
=6
floor a number (to get next lower number)
x=floor(5.378)
=5
fix a number (to get next number toward zero)
x=fix(-5.378)
=-5
Formate short (to get result in four decimal number)
format short
a = (5.123456/6.123456)
a =0.8367
Formate short e (to get result in four decimal digits bet 1 and 10
multiplied by some power of e)
Means to get standard form
format short e
a = (5.123456/6.123456)
a =8.3669e-01
Formate long (to get result in full decimal digits)
format long
a = (5.123456/6.123456)
= 0.836693527315294
Formate long e (to get result in full decimal digits bet 1 and 10
multiplied by some power of e)
format long e
a = (5.123456/6.123456)
= 8.366935273152939e-01
Formate bank (to get result in two decimal digits)
format bank
a = (5.123456/6.123456)
= 0.84
Vectors
A matrix with one row is called vector in matlab.
Multiplication of vectors
c1=[1 2 3 4];
c2=[4 5 6];
c=conv(c1,c2);

For loops ( to repeat run something many time)
For and end work together with step size 1 and 0.5 or something
Example step size 1
for i=0:2
display('boundary layer')
end
boundary layer
boundary layer
boundary layer
Example step size 0.5
for i=0:0.5:2
display('boundary layer')
end
boundary layer
boundary layer
boundary layer
boundary layer
boundary layer
lecture 4 end
For loops ( to repeat run something many time with step
size show)
for i=0:0.5:2
A=i
display('boundary layer')
A =0
boundary layer
A =0.5000
boundary layer
A = 1
boundary layer
A = 1.5000
boundary layer
A =2
boundary layer
if loops with end (if the if condition is true the command run other wise
not)
if 2<5;
display('boundary layer');
end ;
if loops with end and or (if the one of the if condition is true the
command run other wise not)
if 9>10 || 10>9;
display('boundary layer');
end ;
if loops with end and and (if the both of the if conditions are true the
command run other wise not)
if 9>10 && 10>9
display('boundary layer')
end
while (run till condition satisfied)
a=1;
while a<5
display('i am running')
a=a+1
end
order of a matrix
v=[ 1 2 3 ]
size(v)
v =1 2 3
ans =1 3
2 example
v= [1 2 3;4 5 6]
size (v)
v = 1 2 3
4 5 6
ans = 2 3
Transpose of a matrix use just ‘
v= [1 2 3;4 5 6 ]
v=v'
v = 1 2 3
4 5 6
v = 1 4
2 5
3 6
v= [1 2 3;4 5 6]
v (1,:) means show just 1st row
v = 1 4
v = 1 2 3
4 5 6
ans =1 2 3
v= [ 1 2 3;4 5 6]
v (:,2) means show just 2nd column
v = 1 2 3
4 5 6
ans =
2

Submatrix of a large matrix
A=[1 2 3 4; 5 6 7 8; 9 10 11 12; 13 14 15 16]
A(2:3,2:3)
A = 1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
