MATLAB: How to call m-file

MATLABmfile

Hello,

I have an if condition in the intro of my code , and there are three cases i want to do like this in matlab

(example )case 1 call mfile1,

case 2 call mfile2,

case3 call mfile3

thanks 🙂

Best Answer

if value == 1
  mfile1;
elseif value == 2
  mfile2;
else
  mfile3;
end

Or alternately,

switch value
  case 1: mfile1;
  case 2: mfile2;
  case 3: mfile3;
end

Or another way:

fn = {@mfile1, @mfile2, @mfile3);
fn{value}();

MATLAB: M-file function

Your function is calling itself without approaching any convergance or something that will allow it to end. Therefore it will run forever and eventually out of memory (hence the error). Try splitting it up into a script and a function as so:

Script:

 %creating window of plot from -5 to 50 using stepsize 0.25 for t x-axis
 %t should be on the x axis, v should be on the y axis
 k=0; 
for i= -5:.25:50
    k = k+1;
    t(k)=i;
    v(k)=vPieceWise(t(k));
end 
plot(t,v);
 
figure
plot(t,v);
hold on

Function:

%Part A: Mfile function to compute v as a function of t
function v = vPieceWise(t)
 if (t < 0)
        v = 0;
    elseif (0 <= t)&&(8<=16)
        v = -5*t+10*t.^2;
    elseif (8<=16)&&(t<=16)
        v = 624 - 3*t;
    elseif (t<=16)&&(t<=26)
        v = 12*(t-16).^2+36*t;
    elseif (26<t)
        v = 2136*exp(-0.1*(t-26));
 end

MATLAB: Matlab M-File

You should review the documentation on how to write a function, since your above code is not a correctly written function. First, come up with a name for your function, e.g. myFunction. Then create a new file called myFunction.m somewhere on the MATLAB path (e.g. your working directory). Then in that file put your code. E.g.,

function result = myFunction(V)
result = V;  % <-- allocate the result variable, copying all elements
%

% Insert your code here to create the result variable from the V variable
%
return
end

I will give you some hints about correcting your code:

Change this loop:

for i=1:1:6;  % <-- hard coded for exactly 6 elements

to this

for i=1:numel(V)  % <-- allows any size input

The following test has an error in the logic (compare this carefully with the requirement):

if [V(i)<0 | mod(V(i),2)==0 | mod(V(i),4)==0]

The following line has an error on the right hand side calculation (compare this carefully with the requirement):

    V(i)=i*i;

If you don't see what the errors are, step through a small example by hand and compare that to the code result. E.g., at the command line type this:

V=[10,4,7,-8,-3,-12];
myFunction(V)
