Lecture 2 matlab basics and matrix operations page 11 of 19 matrix operations. Matlab 1 is a highperformance language for technical computing. If a is a vector, suma returns the sum of the elements if a is a matrix, suma treats the columns of a as vectors, returning a row vector of the sums of each column if a is a multidimensional array, suma treats the values along the first nonsingleton dimension as vectors, returning an array of row vectors. You can use this technique to change the size and tilt of the antenna, or to model dead elements etc. Fast manipulation of multidimensional arrays in matlab. Generally to generate a multidimensional array, we first create a twodimensional array and extend it. Matlab stores a sparse matrix as an nz by 3 array where nz is the number of nonzero elements. The third column is the actual value of the nonzero element. Matlab was written originally to provide easy access to matrix software developed by the linpack linear system package and eispack eigen system package projects.
Multidimensional arrays in matlab are an extension of the normal twodimensional matrix. The histogram function uses an automatic binning algorithm that returns bins with a uniform width, chosen to cover the range of elements in x and reveal the underlying shape of the distribution. In the preced ing line,this means thatthe contents of awould beoutputon thescreen if thesemicolon were omitted. Structure functions fieldnamesreturns field names in a structure array.
