Hello!
I am writing an Mfile script that calls a Mfile function to evaluate v(t). v(t) is given as a piecewise function and I have to use if-elseif logic structures for all points of t. My script should use this function and evelop a plot of v versus t for t = -5 to t =50 using a stepize of .25.
When I run my code, I found that my if-elseif logic structures are correct, however I get the message: "Out of memory. The likely cause is an infinite recursion within the program." on line 20 when I attempt to plot my 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 %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); figureplot(t,v);hold on end
