Chapter-02 Fundamentals of MATLAB Programming
Abstract:
This chapter covers fundamentals of MATLAB programming. With lots of examples, this chapter offers the essence for beginners to get a handle on programming in MALTAB. Starting from introducing various MATLAB windows and on-line help facilities, the fundamentals of MATLAB programming including data types, statements and matrix representation are explained first followed by matrix manipulations, such as algebraic computation, logical and relationship expressions and data conversion. Then, flow charts in MATLAB programming is illustrated, including loop structures, conditional structures, switches and trial structures. MATLAB function programming and pseudo code processing are covered together with two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphics and visualization techniques. MATLAB graphical user interface (GUI) techniques are explained so that the readers will gain new GUI programming skills to design user-friendly interfaces. Finally, programming skills for delivering high speed, high efficiency codes are introduced with special emphasis on commonly used tips, vectorized programming
