1 Create a function

This is for defining complex functions

Click ‘New Script’ to create a new m file.

Present filename is ‘Untitled*’, ‘*’ means changes haven’t been saved.

To define a function, we need to start with function, and end with end, MATLAB will automatically show the structure of the function.

Contents between function and end should end with ; in every row.

Filename must be the same as the function name, or an error will report
Function name 'f' is known to MATLAB by its file name:'Untitled'.

2 Elementary Functions

2.1 Trigonometric Function & Inverse Trigonometric Function

π in code is pi

2.1.1. Trigonometric Functions (Radian Measure)

Sine y = sin(x);
Cosine y = cos(x);
Tangent y = tan(x);
Cotangent y = cot(x);
Secant y = sec(x);
Cosecant y = csc(x);

2.1.2 Inverse Trigonometric Functions (Radian Measure)

Arcsine y = asin(x);
Arccosine y = acos(x);
Arctangent y = atan(x);
Arccotangent y = acot(x);
Arcsecant y = asec(x);
Arccosecant y = acsc(x);

2.1.3 Trigonometric Functions (Degree Measure)

Sine y = sind(x);
Cosine y = cosd(x);
Tangent y = tand(x);
Cotangent y = cotd(x);
Secant y = secd(x);
Cosecant y = cscd(x);

2.1.4 Inverse Trigonometric Functions (Degree Measure)

Arcsine y = asind(x);
Arccosine y = acosd(x);
Arctangent y = atand(x);
Arccotangent y = acotd(x);
Arcsecant y = asecd(x);
Arccosecant y = acscd(x);

2.1.5 Hyperbolic Functions

Hyperbolic sine y = sinh(x);
Hyperbolic cosine y = cosh(x);
Hyperbolic tangent y = tanh(x);
Hyperbolic cotangent y = coth(x);
Hyperbolic secant y = sech(x);
Hyperbolic cosecant y = csch(x);

2.1.6 Inverse Hyperbolic Function (IHF)

Inverse hyperbolic sine y = asinh(x);
Inverse hyperbolic cosine y = acosh(x);
Inverse hyperbolic tangent y = atanh(x);
Inverse hyperbolic cotangent y = acoth(x);
Inverse hyperbolic secant y = asech(x);
Inverse hyperbolic cosecant y = acsch(x);

2.2 Others

Const function y = a;
Power function y = x^b;
Logarithm function y = logc(x); or natural logarithm y = log(x);
Exponential function y = d^x;

parameter a, b, c or d is up to you.

3 Piecewise Function

Consider a piecewise function,
$$f(x)=\{\begin{array}{cc}& \\ \frac{1}{11}& x>0.015\\ & \\ \frac{3-800\cdot (x-0.0125)}{11}& 0.0125<x\le 0.015\\ & \\ \frac{5-800\cdot (x-0.01)}{11}& 0.01<x\le 0.0125\\ & \\ \frac{7-800\cdot (x-0.0075)}{11}& 0.0075<x\le 0.01\\ & \\ \frac{11-800\cdot (x-0.005)}{11}& x\le 0.0075\end{array}$$
how to define it?
Here are 2 ways.

3.1 Conditional Statement

function y=f(x)

if x>0.015
y=1/11;

elseif (x>0.0125)& (x<=0.015)
y=3/11-800/11* (x-0.0125);

elseif (x>0.01)&(x<=0.0125)
y=5/11-800/11* (x-0.01);

elseif (x>0.0075)&(x<=0.01)
y=7/11-800/11*(x-0.0075);

else
y=1-800/11*(x-0.005);

end

3.2 Logical Operation

After logical operating (like [and] (code&) [or] (code|) , etc.), it will return a 0 or 1. We can complete this task in only one row.

function y=f(x)
 y=(1-800/11*(x-0.005)).*(x<=0.005)+(7-800/11*(x-0.0075)).*(x>0.0075&x<=0.01)+(5-800/11*(x-0.01)).*(x>0.01&x<=0.0125)+(3-800/11*(x-0.0125)/0.0025).*(x>0.0125&x<=0.015)+(1/9).*(x>0.015);
end
