INTRODUCTION TO
PROGRAMMING IN MATLAB
LANGUAGE

1 S YADAV

Programming Basics
 To Start Matlab
 On Microsoft® Windows® platforms,
double-clicking the MATLAB shortcut on your
Windows desktop.

Matlab.ico
 On UNIX platforms, start MATLAB by typing matlab at
the operating system prompt.
Quitting the MATLAB Program
 To end your MATLAB session, select File > Exit
MATLAB in the desktop, or type quit in the Command
2 Window S YADAV

Programming in Matlab

Basics of Matlab
 Matlab has two different methods for executing commands

Interactive mode
In interactive mode, commands are typed (or cut-and-pasted) into the
'command window'.
 »3+ 4
 ans =
 7

 Batch mode.
In batch mode, a series of commands are saved in a text file (either
using Matlab's built-in editor, or another text editor ) with a '.m'
extension.
The batch commands in a file are then executed by typing the name of
the file at the Matlab command prompt.

4 S YADAV

Scripts and Functions
M-Files:
Files that contain code in the MATLAB language
are called M-files. You create M-files using a text
editor, then use them as you would any other
MATLAB function or command.
 There are two kinds of M-files:

1. Scripts, which do not accept input arguments or
return output arguments. They operate on data in
the workspace.
2. Functions, which can accept input arguments and
return output arguments. Internal variables are
local to the function.
NOTE :The names of the M-file and of the function
should be the same.
5 S YADAV

Example
Scripts
 x = -pi:0.01:pi;
 plot(x,sin(x)), grid on

Function
 %Name of function is sum1
 function c=sum1(a,b)
 c=a+b
 end
 M file names should be sum1.m

6 S YADAV

Variables
 As in programming languages, the MATLAB language provides
mathematical expressions, but unlike most programming
languages, these expressions involve entire matrices.
 MATLAB does not require any type declarations or dimension
statements. When MATLAB encounters a new variable name, it
automatically creates the variable and allocates the appropriate
amount of storage. If the variable already exists, MATLAB changes
its contents and, if necessary, allocates new storage. For example,
 num_students = 25 creates a 1-by-1 matrix named num_students
and stores the value 25 in its single element.
To view the matrix assigned to any variable, simply enter the
variable name.
 Variable names consist of a letter, followed by any number of
letters, digits, or underscores.(max length of variable is 63)
 MATLAB is case sensitive; it distinguishes between uppercase and
lowercase letters. B and b are not the same variable.

MATLAB AND MATRIX

8 S YADAV

MATRIX
*MATLAB IS MATRIX MANIPULATION LANGUAGE.
*MOST OF VARIABLES YOU DECLARE WILL BE
MATRICES.
*MATRIX IS RECTANGULAR ARRAY OF NUMBERS
*A is MxN MATRIX : IT MEANS ‘A’ HAS M ROWS AND N
COLUMNS
*IN MATRIX FIRST INDEX IS ROW INDEX AND SECOND
INDEX IS COLUMN INDEX
*SCALAR IS 1x1 MATRIX.
*INDEXING IN MATLAB STARTS FROM ONE(1)
9 S YADAV

DEFINING MATRIX IN MATLAB
Let matrix
B=
1 2 3
6 7 8
B CAN BE CREATE IN MATLAB USING SYNTAX
B=[1 2 3;6 7 8];
HOW TO ACCESS DIFFERENT ELEMENTS B(ROW ,COLUMN)
B(1,1)=1 i.e. FIRST ROW and FIRST COLUMN
B(2,1)=6 i.e. SECOND ROW FIRST COLUMN
B(2,3)=8 i.e. SECOND ROW THIRD COLUMN
10 S YADAV

ACCESSING SUBMATRICES
A=
11 12 13 14 15 16
17 18 19 20 21 22
23 24 25 26 27 28
A(1,:) = [11 12 13 14 15 16]
i.e. FIRST ROW AND ALL COLUMNS
A(2,:)=[17 18 19 20 21 22]
i.e. SECOND ROW AND ALL COLUMNS
A(1,1:3)=[11 12 13 ];
i.e. FIRST ROW AND ONE TO THREE COLUMNS
A(2,3:6)=[19 20 21 22 ]; i.e second row , third to sixth column.
11 S YADAV

ONE DIMENTION MATRIX

ONE DIMENTION MATRIX IS ALSO KNOWN AS VECTOR.
ONE DIMENTION MATRIX MAY BE EITHER
ROW MATRIX : CONTAINING ONE ROW ONLY
OR
COLUMN MATRIX:CONTAINING ONE COLUMN ONLY
HOW TO ACCES DIFFERENT ELEMENTS
A(1),A(2) WILL WORK AS IT IS ONE DIMENSIONAL VECTOR.

12 S YADAV

ALTERNATE WAY OF MAKING MATRICES

A=1:9
A=
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A=1:2:9
A=
1 3 5 7 9
A=[5:-1:-5]
A=
5 4 3 2 1 0 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5
13 S YADAV

MATRIX BUILDING FUNCTIONS

eyes(n) will produce nxn identity matrix
eyes(m,n) will produce mxn identity matrix
ones(n) will produce nxn matrix of ones.
ones(m,n) will produce mxn matrix of ones.
zeros(m,n) will produce matrix of zeros
rand(m,n) will produce mxn matrix of randomvalue
triu(X) will extract upper triangular part of matrix X.
tril(X) will extract lower triangular part of matrix X.

14 S YADAV

MATRIX OPERATIONS

+ ADDITION
- SUBTRACTION
* MULTIPLICATION
^ POWER
‘ CONJUGATE TRANSPOSE
.’ TRANSPOSE
LEFT DIVISION
/ RIGHT DIVISION

THESE MATRIX OPERATIONS APPLY TO SCALARS AS WELL.
IF THE SIZES OF MATRICES ARE INCOMPATIBLE FOR THE
MATRIX OPERATION, AN ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT.

15 S YADAV

EXAMPLE OF MULTIPLICATION
A= B=
1 2 1 1
2 3 1 1

A*B
1*1+2*1 1*1+2*1
2*1+3*1 2*1+3*1
A*B
3 3
5 5

16 S YADAV

ENTRY-WISE OPERATIONS
•OPERATIONS OF ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION ALREADY
OPERATE ENTRY WISE
A= B=

1 2 1 1
2 1 1 1

A+B

2 3
3 2

17 S YADAV

Other entry-wise operation

i.e. .* , .^ , ./ ,.
A=[1 2 3 4]
B=[1 2 3 4]

A.*B=[1 4 9 16]
A=[4 6 8 10]
B=[2 2 2 2]

A./B=[2 3 4 5]
A=[1 2 3]
A.^3=[1 8 27]
18 S YADAV

MATRIX DIVISION
IF A IS AN INVERTIBLE MATRIX AND b IS A COMPATIBLE
COLUMN VECTOR, then
x=Ab is the solution of A*x=b
[1 2 3;4 5 6; 8 9 7]*[x;y;z]=[1;2;3]
[x;y;z]=[1 2 3;4 5 6;8 9 7][1;2;3]

IF A IS AN INVERTIBLE MATRIX AND b IS A COMPATIBLE
ROW VECTOR, then
x=b/A is the solution of x*A=b
[x y z]*[1 2 3;4 5 6; 8 9 7]=[1 1 3]
[x y z]=[1 1 3]/[1 2 3;4 5 6;8 9 7]
19 S YADAV

STATEMENTS, EXPRESIONS AND
VARIABLES

•MATLAB is interpreted language.
•Statements are of form
variable=expression;
expression;
x=3;
y=x^3+3*x;
y=sqrt(x);

Or just
x^3+2*x ;
In this case variable ‘ans’ is automatically created to which
result is assigned
20 S YADAV

Continued …..
•Statement is terminated with ‘;’
•If it is not terminated with ‘;’ , result will be displayed on
screen.
•Statements can be placed on same line if they are terminated
with ‘;’
•Single statement can be continued to next line with three or
more periods e.g. y=x*x+ …..
2*x+3;

•MATLAB is case sensitive.
•who or whos will list variables in current workspace.
•inmem lists compiled m files in current memory.
21 S YADAV

Continued…..
•VARIABLE OR FUNCTION CAN BE CLEARED FROM
WORKSPACE
clear variablename
clear functionname
•clear WILL CLEAR ALL NON PERMANENT VARIABLES.
•ON LOGOUT ALL VARIABLES ARE LOST
•‘save’ WILL SAVE ALL VARIABLES IN FILE matlab.mat
•‘load’ WILL RESTORE WORKSPACE TO ITS FORMAL STATE.
•‘save’ and ‘load’ TAKE VARIABLE NAME AND FILENAME AS
OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS.
•edit fun opens the file fun.m in a text editor.

CONTROL STRUCTURES
IN MATLAB

23 S YADAV

RELATIONAL OPERATORS
< LESS THAN
> GREATER THAN
<= LESS THAN OR EQUAL
>= GREATER THAN OR EQUAL
== EQUAL
~= NOT EQUAL
NOTE: = IS USED IN ASSIGNMENT AND = = IS USED IN A
RELATION

LOGICAL OPERATORS
& AND
| OR
~ NOT
RELATIONS MAY BE CONNECTED BY LOGICAL OPERATORS

24 S YADAV

OUTPUT OF RELATIONS OPRATION

WHEN APPLIED TO SCALAR, RELATION IS ZERO OR ONE
DEPENDING ON WHETHER THE RELATION IS TRUE OR FALSE
a=3; b=2;
c= ( a>b) ; It means c=1
c=(a<b); It means c=0
a= = b answer is 0
a~=b answer is 1

AND WHEN APPLIED TO MATRICES OF SAME SIZE, RELATION
IS MATRIX OF 0’s and 1’s GIVING VALUE OF RELATION
BETWEEN CORROSPONDING ENTERIES.
d=[1 2]; e=[1 1];
f= (d= =e); It means f=[1 0];
