    Variables

     In the previous exercise, you probably typed in


    a value for pi.

     MATLAB has a built-in variable for pi. Try this:

    EDU>> pi
    Variables
    You can even create your own variables. Try this:
    EDU>> radius = 4

    What do you see in your workspace window?

    Now try this:


    EDU>> area = pi*radius^2

    What do you see in your workspace window now?


    Naming Rules for Variables
    1. Variable names must begin with a letter
    2. Names can include any combinations of letters,
    numbers, and underscores
    3. Maximum length for a variable name is 63 characters
    4. MATLAB® is case sensitive. The variable name A is
    different than the variable name a.
    5. Avoid the following names: i, j, pi, and all built-in
    MATLAB® function names such as length, char, size,
    plot, break, cos, log, …
    6. It is good programming practice to name your
    variables to reflect their function in a program rather
    than using generic x, y, z variables.
    Creating Variables & Assigning Values
    At the MATLAB command prompt (EDU>>) type:
    x = 10.57;
    What happens? (Hint: look at workspace window)

    Several things happen with this simple MATLAB command:

     A variable, x, of type double is created


     A memory location for the variable x is assigned
     The value 10.57 is stored in that memory location called x.
    Creating Variables & Assigning Values
    At the MATLAB command prompt (EDU>>) type:

    x = 73.65

    What happens?

     The old value for x (10.57) is replaced by the new value (73.65)
     Also, since the semicolon was left off the end, we see the result
    in the command window (as well as in the workspace window)
    Exercise 2
    1. In MATLAB create two variables: a = 4 and b = 17.2
    2. Now use MATLAB to perform the following set of
    calculations:

    5a
    Creating Strings (Text Variables)
    Variable do not have to be numbers. At the MATLAB command
    prompt type:
    month = ‘August’
    What happens?

    Several things happen with this simple MATLAB command:

     A variable, month, of type string (character array) is created


     A memory location for the variable month is assigned
     The string August is stored in that memory location called
    month.
     Notice that to enter a string, we must put single quotes around it
    Displaying Variables
    We can display a variable (i.e., show its value) by simply
    typing the name of the variable at the command prompt
    (leaving off the semicolon). Try this!

    We can also use a function called disp to display variables.


    Type the following commands at the command prompt:

    >> disp(‘The value of x is:’); disp(x)
