Short MATLAB Tutorial Covered by: Dan Negrut University of Wisconsin, Madison Before getting started… Acknowledgement: Almost entirely, this tutorial compiled from bits of information gathered from various internet sources It is available for download from SBEL website in PPT format http://sbel.wisc.edu/documents/workshopMatlabSept2009.pptx Please let me know of any mistakes you find email me at my [email protected] The right frame of mind: You will not be able to say at the end of workshop that you know MATLAB but rather that you have been exposed to MATLAB (I don’t know MATLAB myself, I’m just using it…) Use MATLAB’s “help”, this is your first stop Second stop: search the web for examples that come close to what you need You learn how to use MATLAB by using it, that’s why the start might be slow and at times frustrating Contents – 1 1.

Furthermore, the arguments are passed by value • Every variable defined in the subroutine, if to be used outside the body of the function, should be returned back to the calling workspace Variable Types in MATLAB • Global Variables • These are variables that are available in multiple workspaces • They have to be explicitly declared as being global • Not going to expand on this, since using global variables is a bad programming practice • A note on returning values from a function • Since all variables are local and input arguments are passed by value, when returning from a function a variable that is modified inside that function will not appear as modified in the calling workspace unless the variable is either global, or declared a return variable for that function Flow Control Statements if Statement if ((attendance >= 0.90) & (grade_average >= 60)) pass = 1; end; while Loops eps = 1; while (1+eps) > 1 eps = eps/2; end eps Flow Control Statements a = zeros(k,k) % Preallocate matrix for m = 1:k for n = 1:k for Loop: a(m,n) = 1/(m+n -1); end end method = 'Bilinear'; ...
