E.g: The Command y 1:5 Will Create The Row Vector (1 2 3 4 5) y 1:n:5 Will Have The Step Value of N. Note That If 1+n 5, y

The colon operator : is used to iterate through values with an optional step value. For example, 1:5 creates the vector [1 2 3 4 5] and 1:n:5 uses a step of n. The colon operator can also be used to select entire rows or columns from a matrix, such as A(:,4) to select the 4th column. linspace creates a linearly spaced vector between x and y with n number of elements.

colon operator is used to iterate through the values x through y with default step value of 1: x:y

e.g: the command


y = 1:5

***note that it is not necessary to use [] to create an array thorugh this method

will create the row vector


[1 2 3 4 5]
y = 1:n:5 will have the step value of n. *note that if 1+n > 5, y = [1]

SELECTION WITH THE COLON OPERATOR


to select an entire column
A(:, 4) will select the 4th column
A(3, :) will select the entire 3rd row

A(x, n) selects xth element to the nth. for rectangular matrices, the indexing is as follows:
A = a1 a4 a7
a2 a5 a8
a3 a6 a9

linspace
syntax: linspace(x,y,n)
create a linearly spaced vector in inclusive range [x,y] with number of elements n:
if n is ommited, the default number of values that will be created is 100.
