2 Built-in Function to Generate Special Matrices

 Built-in functions are available to generate special matrices

 zeros(r,c)- makes matrix of r rows and c columns, all with zeros

 ones(r,c)- makes matrix of r rows and c columns, all with ones

 rand(r,c)- makes matrix of r rows and c columns, with random

numbers

 eye(n) - makes square matrix of n rows and columns. Main

diagonal (upper left to lower right) has ones, all other elements are
zero

 Built-in functions are available to generate special matrices

 find

Rot90 -Rotates matrix 90 degrees

Diag -Diagonal matrices and diagonals of matrix

Blkdiag -Constructs block diagonal matrix from

input arguments
5 Functions to Handle Matrices and Arrays
det() inv()

This give determinate of a matrix This give inverse of a matrix

6 Extracting a Sub Array
It is possible to extract a part of an array by using address of element
7 Replacing Part of Array
It is possible to extract a part of a 2D array by using address of element

Note:
: is use to select all
rows or columns
8 Replacing Part of Array
It is possible to replace a part of an array by using address of element
