Maybe I'm spoiled by Python, but does Octave allows one to assign the values of variables directly from a vector? That is, doing something like
a,b,c=[5,6,7]
will result with a=5, b=6, c=7
.
I have tried many combinations of writing the expression above, but no luck yet ...
Simply type [1 2 3] at the prompt, followed by enter, and observe the output on the screen). Vector elements can also be entered separated by commas. For example, the command octave#:#> B = [0.1,2,5] will create the row vector B=[0.1 2 5].
Variables in Octave do not have fixed types, so it is possible to first store a numeric value in a variable and then to later use the same name to hold a string value in the same program. Variables may not be used before they have been given a value.
The dimensions of the matrix : We can find the dimensions of a matrix or vector using the size() function. 2. Accessing the elements of the matrix : The elements of a matrix can be accessed by passing the location of the element in parentheses. In Octave, the indexing starts from 1.
This can be done by constructing a cell array with "{...}" and converting this to a comma separated list via "{:}":
[a b c] = {5 6 7}{:}
a = 5
b = 6
c = 7
