Row and column vectors in MATLAB - Mini Project: Build & Apply

Row and column vectors

📖 Scenario: You are working with simple data in MATLAB, representing measurements taken in a lab. You need to organize these measurements as vectors to perform calculations later.

🎯 Goal: Create a row vector and a column vector with exact values, then display them to understand their structure.

📋 What You'll Learn

Create a row vector called rowVec with values 10, 20, 30, 40

Create a column vector called colVec with values 5; 15; 25; 35

Display both vectors using disp

💡 Why This Matters

🌍 Real World

Scientists and engineers often organize data as row or column vectors to perform calculations and analyze measurements.

💼 Career

Understanding vectors is essential for data analysis, signal processing, and many engineering tasks using MATLAB.

1

Create the row vector

Create a row vector called rowVec with the exact values 10, 20, 30, 40 using square brackets and spaces or commas.

MATLAB

Need a hint?

Use square brackets and separate numbers with commas or spaces to create a row vector.

2

Create the column vector

Create a column vector called colVec with the exact values 5; 15; 25; 35 using square brackets and semicolons.

MATLAB

rowVec = [10, 20, 30, 40];
% Your code here

Need a hint?

Use square brackets and separate numbers with semicolons to create a column vector.

3

Display the row vector

Use disp(rowVec) to display the row vector rowVec.

MATLAB

rowVec = [10, 20, 30, 40];
colVec = [5; 15; 25; 35];
% Your code here

Need a hint?

Use the disp function to show the contents of rowVec.

4

Display the column vector

Use disp(colVec) to display the column vector colVec.

MATLAB

rowVec = [10, 20, 30, 40];
colVec = [5; 15; 25; 35];
disp(rowVec)
% Your code here

Need a hint?

Use disp(colVec) to show the column vector values.
