Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Create a matrix of size 5x5, filled with the numbers 1 to 25. Then, using the colon operator, extract the submatrix containing rows 3 to 5 and columns 4 to 5.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how to reshape a vector into a matrix before extracting.

Question 2

Suppose you have a matrix M. Using the colon operator, write a command to retrieve the last two rows and all columns of M and set them to zero.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how 'end' can help you find the last rows.
