  1. EGR115 Part1 – weeks 1 through 7 Part2 – Storing data Arrays Files • Variables • double / int • char • Equations • MATLAB can skip if & switch • MATLAB can repeat while & for Part3 – Organizing lines of code • functions

  2. Arrays – the Basics Arrays Scalar Vectors Matrices

  3. 1. An array • An array is a collection of data into one variable • The array has a more precise name, depending on the dimensions of the variable: • A “scalar” • A “vector” • A “matrix” • When talking about the dimension of any array, you will hear: “This array is a ___ by ____.” For example: • This array is a 3 by 4. 3 is the number of rows, 4 is the number of columns. The difference…

  4. 1st . “A scalar” • A single value. • This array is a 1 by 1. • Example: the number 7 is a scalar. age = 17; %creates a scalar variable weight = 145.32; %another scalar variable

  5. 2nd . “Vector” – math In 2D:

  6. 2nd . “Vector” – math In 2D: In 3D: The vector OP has initial point at the origin O(0,0,0) and terminal point at P(2,3,5). We can draw the vector OP as follows: Source: http://www.intmath.com/Vectors/1_Vector-concepts.php In 3D:

  7. More than just math “Vector” – MATLAB • A vector is a one-dimensional collection of data • “all the temperatures readings during take-off” • “all the pressures recorded during Hurricane Katrina” • “an (x,y,z) coordinate” • A vector can only be of two types: a column, or a row • For an array to be a vector, only ONE of this variable's dimension is 1. A column vector (“m by 1”) A row vector (“1 by m”)

  8. Vectors, end. • Vectors are usually thought of as “row vectors” or “column vectors”, but there exists one more: The “empty vector” – a variable in MATLAB that contains no values. To make an empty vector, use the empty brackets: array = []; • Why do this? • Create a variable, much like a container ready to accept values. • Erase the previous content of an array, without destroying the variable itself.

  9. 3rd . A “matrix” • Both dimensions are greater than 1. • Can be used to: • Represent mathematical matrices, or • Store related information • First row: temperature of different points in a nozzle • Second row: pressure at those same points • Third row: density at those same points an “r by c”

  10. 3rd . A “matrix”, vocabulary • LEARN this NOW – everything depends on you referring to these correctly! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 3 1 5 6 1 4 3 5 6 7 3 1 2 0 0 ROW!

  11. 3rd . A “matrix”, vocabulary • LEARN this NOW – everything depends on you referring to these correctly! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 3 1 5 6 1 4 3 5 6 7 3 1 2 0 0 COLUMN!

  12. At this point in time… • Arrayscan only have 1 data-typeand 1 value per box. NUMERICAL CHAR MIX  MULTIPLE VALUES per box 
