ENGR 102 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Nth Root, Matlab, Decimal Mark
Document Summary
Matlab (matrix laboratory) it is really good at graphing mathematical computations; especially matrices. Compiled languages: interpreted can be executed across many different computing systems but compared to compiled languages it is a little bit slower. Command window provides the basic method in which a programmer types statements to be executed by the matlab interpreter. Workspace displays the current data being used by the interpreter. *whitespace doesn"t matter meaning it doesn"t matter if there is space between the computations or if it is one big long strand* Format long demand makes it show 15 digits after the decimal point. Format short demand makes it show 4 digits after the decimal point (this is the default) *it is really helpful to use descriptive variable names, that way that helps to keep everything organized* Some words cannot be used as variables you can pull up the words that are unable to be used by typing in a code.
