Working With Variables

  • MATLAB stores data in arrays.
  • Use readmatrix to read tabular CSV data into a program.

Arrays

  • M(row, column) indices are used to select data points
  • : is used to take slices of data

Plotting data

  • Use plot to visualize data.

Writing MATLAB Scripts

  • Save MATLAB code in files with a .m suffix.

Repeating With Loops

  • Use for to create a loop that repeats one or more operations.

Making Choices

  • Use if and else to make choices based on values in your program.

Creating Functions

  • Break programs up into short, single-purpose functions with meaningful names.
  • Define functions using the function keyword.

Defensive Programming

  • Use assertions to catch errors, and to document what behavior is expected.
  • Write tests before code.
