Arrays

Arrays
Height of a family members:

Arrays

height 1 = 1.64;
height 2 = 1.42;
height 3 = 1.56;
height 4 = 1.80;

Arrays

height 1 = 1.64;
height 2 = 1.42;
height 3 = 1.56;
height 4 = 1.80;
It looks quite inconvenient way of representation.

Arrays

height 1 = 1.64;
height 2 = 1.42;
height 3 = 1.56;
height 4 = 1.80;
Matlab provides a better way to represent such data in the form of one
dimensional array or cell as explained below:

Arrays

height 1 = 1.64;
height 2 = 1.42;
height 3 = 1.56;
height 4 = 1.80;
fam heights=[1.64,1.42,1.56,1.80];

Arrays

height 1 = 1.64;
height 2 = 1.42;
height 3 = 1.56;
height 4 = 1.80;
fam heights=[1.64,1.42,1.56,1.80];
Calling entries from the cell

Arrays

height 1 = 1.64;
height 2 = 1.42;
height 3 = 1.56;
height 4 = 1.80;
fam heights=[1.64,1.42,1.56,1.80];
fam heights(3)

Arrays

height 1 = 1.64;
height 2 = 1.42;
height 3 = 1.56;
height 4 = 1.80;
fam heights=[1.64,1.42,1.56,1.80];
fam heights(3)
1.56

Arrays

height 1 = 1.64;
height 2 = 1.42;
height 3 = 1.56;
height 4 = 1.80;
fam heights=[1.64,1.42,1.56,1.80];
fam heights(3)
1.56

Better representation of array along with the appropriate
object

object
In the above array, we do not know what height belongs to which person.

object
If height 1,height 2,height 3 and height 4 are the heights of Ali, Jimmy,
Lisa and John respectively.

object
Now, If we want to store this information in the form of array then
following command can be used.

object
fam heights new

object
fam heights new= [[‘Ali ’,num2str(height 1)]

object
fam heights new= [[‘Ali ’,num2str(height 1)],[‘ Jimmy
’,num2str(height 2)]
,[‘ Lisa ’,num2str(height 3)],[‘ John ’,num2str(height 4)]];

object
fam heights new

object
fam heights new
‘Ali 1.64 Jimmy 1.42 Lisa 1.56 John 1.80’

Working with the arrays
’,num2str(height 2)],[‘ Lisa ’,num2str(height 3)],[‘ John ’,
num2str(height 4)]]

num2str(height 4)]]
Calling entries from the array

num2str(height 4)]]

You can always call anything from the array. Here we have few examples
as below.
Example (1)

num2str(height 4)]]

as below.
Example (1)
Your task is to call Ali,1.64 and Jimmy from fam heights new.

num2str(height 4)]]

as below.
Example (1)
Solution

num2str(height 4)]]

as below.
Example (1)
Solution
To call the entries from the array, you have to call the required positions.

num2str(height 4)]]

as below.
Example (1)
Solution
fam heights new(1:14)

num2str(height 4)]]

as below.
Example (1)
Solution
‘Ali 1.64 Jimmy’

Example (2)

Example (2)
Find the second element in the fam heights new

Example (2)
Solution

Example (2)
Solution

Example (2)
Solution
‘Jimmy 1.42’


Example (3)

Example (3)
Display all the values from fam heights new except first. i.e., Ali and his
height must not be printed.

Example (3)
Solution

Example (3)
Solution
There are two ways for this questions that are as below:

Example (3)
Solution
Method 1:

Example (3)
Solution
Method 1:
Method 2:

Example (3)
Solution
Method 1:
Method 2:
fam heights new(10:end)

Example (3)
Solution
Method 1:
Method 2:
This second method is more appropriate than first.

Example (3)
Solution
Method 1:
Method 2:

WHY?

Example (3)
Solution
Method 1:
Method 2:

WHY?
Ans. Because (in first method) you need to know how many entries in the
array. However there is no such requirement in the second method.
