EGR 103/Fall 2014/Lab 3

The following document is meant as an outline and recap of what was covered in lab.

Chapra 2.10

The main concepts here are functions, element-wise calculations, selective structures for validating inputs, and using a combination of point styles with solid lines to represent multiple data sets on the same graph. There is also a diary that is created to document how the code works.

Weather Data Analysis

The main concepts here are loading and parsing data, determining and locating extrema (using commands such as min, max, and find), printing out combinations of literal characters and formatted matrix values, and excising portions of matrices for use later.

Chapra 3.10

The main concepts here are using logical masks to create piecewise functions, using different sets of points for mathematical analysis versus graphing, and determining and locating extrema.

Palm 4.19

The main concepts here are validating inputs correctly, generating arrays, running code based on the number of inputs, and using logical masks.

Palm 4.20

The main concepts here are writing piecewise functions correctly and using logical masks.
