Componentwise operations just as for vectors, adding a. Octave will return a vector of the same size in which each entry is found by performing the speci ed operation on the corresponding entry of the original vector. Matlab will allow us to do this with elementwise operations. It started out as a matrix programming language where linear algebra programming was simple. Kai arras social robotics lab start, quit, getting help to start octave type the shell command octave or whatever your os needs. Lecture 8 matrices and matrix operations in matlab.
The plot function has different forms, depend ing on the input arguments. The matrix operations of addition and subtraction already operate entrywise but the other matrix operations given above do not, they are matrix operations. Matlab integrates computation, visualization, and programming in an easytouse en. Elementwise logical operators operate elementbyelement on logical arrays. Part of this understanding is the ability to implement such algorithms. If your code uses elementwise operators and relies on the errors that matlab previously returned for mismatched sizes, particularly within a try catch block, then your code might no longer catch those errors. Note however that addition is the same for matrices. You can use these arithmetic operations to perform numeric computations, for example, adding two numbers, raising the elements of an array to a given power, or multiplying two matrices.
