When using the command prompt, anything in your path or working directory can be run either as a script, function or class (to define objects)
Questions from last class:
- I downloaded GitHub to my desktop but I cannot sign into my UConn account like I can online.
- I checked my grades on HuskyCt recently and I received a 0 / 100 for Homework 1.
- It is very hard to tell if what I'm doing on github is right or wrong.
- How often will be using our laptops during the lecture?
- How many frogs would it take to move a car that is stuck in the snow? And what would be the approximate cost to do so
conservation of momentum:
number_of_frogs = 1;
v2=0;
while v2 < 1 % 1 m/s
m_frogs=number_of_frogs*22.7e-3;
number_of_frogs=number_of_frogs+1;
p1=(m_frogs)*4.72; % momentum 1
v2=p1/(m_frogs+1000); % p2=p1, so v2=p1/m_total
end
number_of_frogs
number_of_frogs =
11844
%myscript%plot --format svgWhen using the GUI, your command history is saved, but it is better to save your work either as a script or a function or combination of both

Functions
So far, everything has been executed as a script, or calling a built-in function. Now we begin building our own functions.
Functions are saved in memory (or better yet) in a folder in your path or current directory
Example of storing function in memory
f= @(x,y) (x.*y.^3-x.^3.*y)f =
@(x,y)(x.*y.^3-x.^3.*y)
f(0.1,-0.5)ans =
-0.0120
Here we will save a function called my_function as my_function.m
function [vx,vy] = my_function(x,y,t)
% Help documentation of "my_function"
% This function computes the velocity in the x- and y-directions given
% three vectors of position in x- and y-directions as a function of time
% x = x-position
% y = y-position
% t = time
% output
% vx = velocity in x-direction
% vy = velocity in y-direction
vx=zeros(length(t),1);
vy=zeros(length(t),1);
vx(1:end-1) = diff(x)./diff(t); % calculate vx as delta x/delta t
vy(1:end-1) = diff(y)./diff(t); % calculate vy as delta y/delta t
vx(end) = vx(end-1);
vy(end) = vy(end-1);
endhelp my_functionHelp documentation of "my_function"
This function computes the velocity in the x- and y-directions given
three vectors of position in x- and y-directions as a function of time
x = x-position
y = y-position
t = time
output
vx = velocity in x-direction
vy = velocity in y-direction
t=linspace(0,10,100)';
x=t.^3; % vx = 3*t^2
y=t.^2/2; % vy = t
[vx,vy]=my_function(x,y,t);yyaxis left
plot(t(1:10:end),vx(1:10:end),'o',t,3*t.^2)
ylabel('v_{x}')
yyaxis right
plot(t(1:10:end),vy(1:10:end),'s',t, t)
ylabel('v_{y}')
xlabel('time')
Now, create a new function that calls 'my_function' called, my_caller.m
help my_callerHelp documentation of "my_caller"
This function computes the acceleration in the x- and y-directions given
three vectors of position in x- and y-directions as a function of time
x = x-position
y = y-position
t = time
output
ax = velocity in x-direction
ay = velocity in y-direction
[ax,ay]=my_caller(x,y,t);yyaxis left
plot(t(1:10:end),ax(1:10:end),'o',t,6*t)
ylabel('a_{x}')
yyaxis right
plot(t(1:10:end),ay(1:10:end),'s',t, 1*t./t)
ylabel('a_{x}')
xlabel('time')
