MATLAB Keywords

• Zeros(m, n): it returns an m by n matrix of zeros.

• Ones(m, n): it returns an m by n matrix of ones.

• Eye(m, n): it returns an m by n matrix with 1's on the diagonal and 0's elsewhere.

• Transpose(X): it returns the nonconjugate transpose of X, that is, interchanges the row and column
index for each element.

• Linspace: it generates linearly spaced vectors. It is similar to the colon operator ":", but gives direct
control over the number of points.

• Det(X): it returns the determinant of the square matrix X. If X contains only integer entries, the result
is also an integer.

• Rank: it provides an estimate of the number of linearly independent rows or columns of a full matrix.

• Inv(X): it computes the inverse of square matrix X.

• Sin(X): it returns the sine of the elements of X. The sin function operates element-wise on arrays. The
function accepts both real and complex inputs.

• Asin(X): it returns the inverse sine (arcsine) for each element of X.

• Sind(X): it returns the sine of the elements in X, which are expressed in degrees.

• Min(A): it returns the smallest elements along different dimensions of an array. If A is a vector, min(A)
returns the smallest element in A. If A is a matrix, min(A) treats the columns of A as vectors, returning a
row vector containing the minimum element from each column.

• Max(A): it returns the maximum elements of an array. If A is a vector, then max(A) returns the maximum
of A. If A is a matrix, then max(A) is a row vector containing the maximum value of each column.

• Log(X): it returns the natural logarithm ln(x) of each element in array X.

• Log10(X): it returns the common logarithm of each element in array X. The function accepts both real
and complex inputs.

• Exp(X): it returns the exponential for each element of X. For complex elements, it returns the complex
exponential.
• Find(X): it returns the indices of the array X that point to nonzero elements. If none is found, find returns
an empty matrix.

• Clc: it clears all the text from the Command Window, resulting in a clear screen.

• Clear: it removes all variables from the workspace and frees up system memory.

• Factorial(n): it returns the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n, where n is a
nonnegative integer value.

• Rem(x,y): it returns the remainder after division of x by y, where x is the dividend and y is the divisor.

• Round(X): it rounds each element of X to the nearest integer. In the case of a tie, where an element
has a fractional part of exactly 0.5, the round function rounds away from zero to the integer with larger
magnitude.

• Sort(X): it sorts the elements along different dimensions of an array, and arranges those elements in
ascending order.

• Floor(X): it rounds the elements of A to the nearest integers less than or equal to X. For complex values
of X, the imaginary and real parts are rounded independently.

• Ceil(X): it rounds the elements of A to the nearest integers greater than or equal to X. For complex X,
the imaginary and real parts are rounded independently.

• Figure: it creates a new figure window using default property values.

• Plot(X,Y): it creates a 2-D line plot of the data in Y versus the corresponding values in X.

• Length(X): it returns the length of the largest array dimension in X. For vectors, the length is simply the
number of elements.

• Size(X): it returns a row vector whose elements contain the length of the corresponding dimension
of X.
