Quick Matlab Question

[Woozie]

If I'm in the middle of a calculation and I want to stop, how do I do so? I accidentally set temperature to zero, and at line 122 I have exp(2inter/T). So now I'm getting a bunch of error messages saying "Warning: Division by Zero Line 122". But instead of stopping once it reached the first error, it continues my for loop again and again getting the same error every time. This for loop is 1000 steps, which is inside another for loop, which is inside another for loop (which I think is inside another for loop), so this is taking forever and I can't make it stop until it finishes every single step.

Go to the debug option from your drop down menus at the top. Select "always stop when errors", and it will now stop at any errors, as if there was a break point there.

Thanks, I think it worked.

does ctrl+break not work on this program?

You know, having never taken any math beyond Algebra II in 11th grade, I wiki'd MATLAB, hoping it was some program that would do my math homework next term and was utterly confused. Cliff notes version of the program, anyone?

MATLAB is a program for doing (very) heavy numerical computations, usually involving matrices and/or vectors. If you're looking for something to do your math homework, you'd probably want a computer algebra system like Mathematica, Maple (both $$$) or Maxima (free).

Edited: I'm an idiot who can't spell.

Matlab is god.

Matlab could cure cancer if you have a smart enough programmer..

It is the standard for advanced algorithm development on anything that is heavily physics based or matrix based (i.e. life).

When I fap, I fap to matlab.

ctrl+C is always your friend. :D

MATLAB is definitely one of the most impressive (and frustrating) mathematical modeling programs I have had the pleasure (and annoyance) of working with. It's definitely like a high maintenance, but very hot woman.

Matlab is very handy for us Electrical Engineers. It does a great job at modeling complex control systems with feedback and electromagnetics. Also the software key makes me laugh every time I install it at home... that fucker is like 100+ characters long.

[Darkslitter]

matlab is great for slope field and approximating differential equations too

What you want is a Ti-89

[Conformity]

do they have software for methlabs now, cool

[AzazaelFenrir]

I totally read the title as 'Quick Methlab Question' ><

I miss using it though, was fun to plug in some of the most retarded complex stuff and see it come back super quick with an answer.

Evil! Pure evil! You must not be swayed!

But seriously, it's a very powerful calculator, and can save enormous amounts of work (Equation Solver and whatnot, which can help during a test.).... Well, and I guess people like typing up all the equations they need, and everything else! It's just not for me. It does almost everything for you and many people now have no idea how to do even basic Algebra. I believe I'm the only one in my EE classes that does not have one. I'm cool with my trusty 'ole TI-34II. (Yeah, I get laughed at...)

Don't get me wrong, there's people who use them and still know their shit, but there's very few of them.

Fight the power!

Also, Matlab ftmfw! If you can get it early on, mess with it. It's so great.

[Kerberoz]

Yeah, obviously don't use the calculator to do all your work or you'll never learn to get by without it. It's nice for checking your work, or when you're pressed for time, though.

I never paid attention in AP calc and ended up writing a full-featured madlibs program in ASM that year >.> and failed the exam, so yeah, be careful.

My high school buddy wrote tetris and video poker for our TI-89s. Good times.
