Basics of MATLAB and Beyond

Inline objects, like every other matlab construction, is vectorised:>> f(0:4)ans =-1 0 38 15They can be used in place of other variables:x = linspace(-4,4);clfplt(x,f(x))hold onplt(x,f(x-2),’--’)zeroaxesExercise 10 Create a function called funplot that takes thename of a function and a range of x-values and produces a plotover that range. For example, the following input should producethis plot:funplot(’sin’,[0pi])The function should work whether you type funplot(’sin’,[0pi]) or funplot(’sin(x)’,[0 pi]). Hint: What are the asciivalues of ( and )? (Answer on page 188.)27 Cell ArraysCell arrays are arrays of different things. The “things” can be scalars,vectors, matrices, strings (of different length), structures (see section onstructures), or other cell arrays. For example, when we looked at stringmatrices we saw that we had to pad the rows with blanks to make themall the same length. Using a cell array, we can create a “ragged-rightmatrix”:t = {’O sacred receptacle of my joys,’;’Sweet cell of virtue and nobility,’;’How many sons of mine hast thou in store,’;’That thou wilt never render to me more!’}The curly brackets { and } denote cells. The cell we created above is a4 × 1 cell array:c○ 2000 by CRC Press LLC
