Octave (1.Basic Operation)

  Just study machine learning on Coursera, so we could do some exercise. 

1. Download Octave from Octave
2. Install the Octave
3. Use Octave to do some simple calculation

 Simple calculation:

1 + 2
2 - 1
3 * 2
5 / 8
2^6
1 == 2     % false = 0
1 ~= 2     % true = 1
1 && 0     % AND
1 || 0      % OR
xor(1,0)    % ans = 1
PS1('>> ')    % just show ">>" 

 

Variable:

a = 3
a = 3;    % semicolon suppress the output
b = 'hi';
b    % output b = hi

a = pi;
a    % output "a = 3.1416"
disp(a)    % output "a = 3.1416"
disp(sprintf('2 decimals: %0.2f', a))    % output "2 decimals: 3.14"

format long
a     % a = 3.14159265358979

format short
a    % a = 3.1416

 

Matrix and vector:

A = [1 2; 3 4; 5 6]
v = [1; 2; 3]

v = 1:0.1:2
v = 1:6

w = ones(2,3)
w = rand(1,3)
randn(1,10000)    % Guassian
hist(w)    % histogram

I = eye(4)
