5. Control flow and operators

Control flow structures in MATLAB are essential for managing the execution of commands based on conditions. This chapter introduces various control flow structures such as the if statement, for loop, while loop, and switch statement, along with an understanding of relational and logical operators. Additionally, it covers how to save program output to files and emphasizes the importance of operator precedence in MATLAB expressions.

    Control Flow

    This section introduces the fundamental control flow structures available in MATLAB, including if statements, for loops, while loops, and switch statements.

    Learning Practice

  • 5.2.1

    The If...end Structure

    The `if...end` structure in MATLAB allows for conditional execution of commands based on logical expressions, thus controlling the flow of a program.

    Learning Practice

  • 5.2.2

    Relational And Logical Operators

    This section introduces relational and logical operators in MATLAB, which are essential for making comparisons and controlling flow in programming.

    Learning Practice

  • 5.2.3

    The For...end Loop

    The for...end loop in MATLAB allows for repetitive execution of commands a fixed number of times, enhancing program control and efficiency.

    Learning Practice

  • 5.2.4

    The While...end Loop

    The 'while...end' loop in MATLAB allows for repeated execution of statements as long as a specified condition remains true.
