Making a script file that creates random vectors and include comment at top describing what the file does.

1 view (last 30 days)
This is the code I got should anything be adjust and what does it means by include a comment?
a = rand(1,6)
b = rand(1,6)
c = rand(1,6)
d = rand(1,6)
e = rand(1,6)
f = rand(1,6)
fprintf('%s\t',a,b,c,d,e,f)

I mean if its were you what command would you use and adjust it to make it look more short and easy to understand. Do I need to use horzcat command? Am I supposed to use loop function to make it looks better?

I can't say what you're "supposed to do"; I'm not the instructor nor have I been in the class so I don't know what topics have been covered nor what particular topics were presented just prior to the given assignment. You'll have to judge for yourself from what you've been introduced to so far.
Again which command to use is your call; I don't want to unduly influence your answers by doing much more than making suggestions, but yes, you do need to create a variable that holds the full vector in one fashion or another to meet the second requirement of the assignment.
I was simply saying that one could use a loop and an array instead of the explicitly-named variables and a more experienced MATLAB-er would almost certainly do so if there got to be more than just a couple of instances.
If you have been introduced to looping, then I think I would recommend you investigate how you might do that--if you haven't actually covered the topic yet, then "not so much!".

Hint:
To concatenate two row vectors into another, single vector, do
output = [rowVector1, rowVector2];
It will be easy for you to adapt this to your code to use 6 vectors instead of 2 (like I did).

Did you try what I said? Here it is for 4 of them. If you can't figure out how to do it for all 6 after this, then I guess you'll just have to miss it
% This script does blah blah blah
a = rand(1,6)
b = rand(1,6)
c = rand(1,6)
d = rand(1,6)
e = rand(1,6)
f = rand(1,6)
fprintf('%.1f,\t',a,b,c,d,e,f)
output = [a, b, c, d]; % Add e and f to get all 6.
