Course Description
In this Beginner MATLAB course, you’ll learn the basics of MATLAB. You’ll receive an overview of the software and programming language, along with the multiple ways MATLAB enables a programmer to accomplish the same task. This course will also cover MATLAB’s relative strengths, weaknesses, and overall utility as compared with other programming languages.
These lessons will cover data types in MATLAB. You’ll learn about the different data types in MATLAB and what distinguishes them. You’ll also learn about data structures in MATLAB that exist outside of arrays and matrices, cells, and characters. After that, you’ll be introduced to string arrays within MATLAB, and how to create and display them.
What You'll Learn
- Explain the different data types in MATLAB and what distinguishes each
- Identify data structure types other than arrays and matrices that you may find useful
- Work with numeric data types in MATLAB
- Use characters and strings in MATLAB
- Create and display string arrays in MATLAB
- Apply structures as data structures in MATLAB
