Summary of MATLAB Onramp: Basic Syntax

This document provides a summary of basic MATLAB syntax and functions across several categories: 1) Basic syntax examples show how to create variables, provide inputs to functions, and change how numeric output is displayed. 2) Desktop management functions like save, load, clear, clc and format are described for saving, loading, clearing variables and formatting output. 3) Different array types like scalars, vectors, matrices are demonstrated along with examples for creating evenly spaced vectors, matrices, and indexing arrays. 4) Common array operations like multiplication and accessing elements are illustrated, as well as examples for multiple outputs, documentation, plotting, using tables, logicals, and basic programming constructs like if/else statements and for

Summary of MATLAB Onramp

Basic syntax
Example Description
x = pi Create variables with the equal sign (=).
The left-side (x) is the variable name containing the value on the right-side (pi).
y = sin(- You can provide inputs to a function using parentheses.
5)

 
Desktop management
Functio
n Example Description
save save data.mat Save your current workspace to a MAT-file.
load load data.mat Load the variables in a MAT-file to the Workspace.

clear clear Clear all variables from the Workspace.


clc clc Clear all text from the Command Window.
format format long Change how numeric output is displayed.

 
Array types
Example Description
4 scalar
[3 5] row vector
[1;3] column vector
[3 4 5;6 7 8 matrix
]

 
Evenly-spaced vectors
Example Description
1:4 Create a vector from 1 to 4, spaced by 1, using the colon (:) operator.

1:0.5:4 Create a vector from 1 to 4, spaced by 0.5.


linspace(1,10,5 Create a vector with 5 elements. The values are evenly spaced from 1 to 10.
)

 
Creating matrices
Example Description
rand(2) Create a square matrix with 2 rows and 2 columns.

zeros(2,3 Create a rectangular matrix with 2 rows and 3 columns.


)

 
Indexing
Example Description

A(end,2) Access the element in the second column of the last row.

A(2,:) Access the entire second row


A(1:3,:) Access all columns of the first three rows.
A(2) = 1 Change the value of the second element an array to 11.
1

 
Array operations
Example Description
[1 1; 1 1]*[2 2;2 2] Perform matrix multiplication.
ans =
4 4
4 4
[1 1; 1 1].*[2 2;2 Perform element-wise multiplication.
2]
ans =
2 2
2 2

 
Multiple outputs
Example Description
[xrow,xcol] = size(x Save the number of rows and columns in x to two different variables.
)

[xMax,idx] = max(x) Calculate the maximum value of x and its corresponding index value.

 
Documentation
Example Description
doc rand Open the documentation page for the randi function.
i
 
Plotting
Example Description
plot(x,y,"ro-","LineWidth",5 Plot a red (r) dashed (--) line with a
) circle (o) marker, with a heavy line width.

hold on Add the next line to existing plot.


hold off Create a new axes for the next plotted line.
title("My Title") Add a label to a plot.

 
Using tables
Example Description
data.HeightYards Extract the variable HeightYards from
the table data.
data.HeightMeters = data.HeightYards*0.914 Derive a table variable from existing data.
4

 
Logicals
Example Description
[5 10 15] > 1 Compare a vector to the value 12.
2

v1(v1 > 6) Extract all elements in v1 that are greater than 6.


x(x==999) = 1 Replace all values in x that are equal to 999 with the value 1.

 
Programming
Example Description
if x > 0.5 If x is greater than 0.5, set the value of y to 3.
y = 3
else Otherwise, set the value of y to 4.
y = 4
end

for c = The loop counter (c) progresses through the


1:3 values 1:3 (1, 2, and 3).

disp(c) The loop body displays each value of c.
