Study Notes
MATLAB Modeling and Simulation
- MATLAB is a software used for numerical computation and visualization.
- MATLAB has two types of program files: scripts and functions.
- Scripts are a series of commands that are executed together and operate on data in the workspace.
- Functions can accept inputs and return outputs, with internal variables local to the function.
- The
menufunction displays a figure window with pushbuttons representing options.
Objectives
- Construct MATLAB scripts
- Create user-defined functions that return a single value.
- Identify and use MATLAB basic input and output commands.
- Construct MATLAB scripts with selections and looping.
Subtopic 1: Input and Output
-
input()lets users type in integer and string data. -
fprintf()displays formatted text or data.
Toolstrip and Editor
- Scripts are stored in files with an
.mextension. - The MATLAB editor includes features for running, editing, and saving code (e.g., clear commands, run and time).
M Files
- MATLAB permits script and function files (ending with
.m). - Scripts execute commands sequentially without input parameters or outputs.
- Functions accept inputs, perform calculations, and can return outputs.
Example of Scripts
- Scripts execute commands sequentially.
- Examples include calculating area (rectangle, square, triangle, and circle).
- Using
disp()displays data without the variable identifier. -
fprintf()displays formatted output.
Examples of Scripts (continued)
- Scripts can include strings and arrays (vectors, matrices).
- Demonstrate basic calculations and operations.
- Examples of using input functions to get user input through prompts.
- Provide examples of output commands (
disp,fprintf) for displaying data. - Includes examples of vectors and matrices.
Selection and Looping Statements
-
IF statements help establish conditions for code execution based on a Boolean value.
-
Example demonstrates implementing conditional logic within a
forloop (and examples of code for negative and positive values). -
Demonstrates
switchstatements, a tool for selecting from different options.- For example different outputs based on variable values (
grade).
- For example different outputs based on variable values (
-
For loops for iterating over a range of values.
-
Demonstrates handling different kinds of loop conditions (e.g.,
for,whileloop syntax, range parameters, break statements).
The Menu Function
- The
menufunction prompts the user for input, displaying a list of options from which to choose. - Demonstrates user interaction using buttons based on the choices.
Input and Output Commands
-
dispdisplays an array or string. -
fscanfreads formatted data from a file. -
formatcontrols the format of display. -
fprintfdisplays formatted output to the screen or a file -
inputgets user input from the keyboard. - A semicolon
;suppresses the screen printing.
Input and Output Format Codes
-
%s: String -
%d: Integer -
%f: Floating-point number -
%e: Floating point in scientific notation -
\n: Newline -
\t: Tab
