Gen Z not being good at cyber hahah not living up to my gen I know
@Sam Southern - TN sounds good, post it when you can
1. Write a function (I'm calling it v) that takes in two scalars (a and b) spits out a vector (v) that is a row vector of the length b with the terms being the first a powers of b
So I tried to do someting like this:
function v = hw1_problem5(a,b)
b = length(v);
v = a.^b;
end
so that the function length would track with b and the vector would be that length
and the vector itself would use vector exponent rule of .^ to raise each to the correct power
but it's only giving me the first output instead of all of the outputs
for example, when I input hw1_problem5(2,3), it should output a row vector containing the first 3 powers of 2
so [2 4 8]
but it only gives [2]
so it's not accepting my length argument somehow
there's another one after that that involves zeroing out part of an array in certain locations, but I'll take any help i can get
shit is so confusing to me
@ThisIsChris let me know if that doesn't make sense
if any other <@&387091385075105804> know how to matlab, I would greatly appreciate the help!
@Sam Southern - TN the second line, `b = length(v);` is changing the value of b
how do I set the length of the vector to b?
@Sam Southern - TN so first I would make a vector of 1..b, I'll call it powers, s
so
`powers = 1:b`
then
now it's giving me the last one instead of the first one as the output
so [8]
instead of [2]
but not [2 4 8]
hmm I see, I'm at work now will have to check this out in a little while (unless someone else steps in 🙂 )
thanks for trying though, I do appreciate it
@Sam Southern - TN this works
The trick I had to remember was that a function that accepts scaler, if you plug in a vector, will return you a vector with the function applied to each entry
that, and making the vector 1...b is `1:b`
@ThisIsChris thank you, that works!
just got back from work, happy to see this finally work hahah
@Sam Southern - TN You're weclome! 😄
Whoever recommended Professor Leonard. Probably the best videos I've found for this. Much appreciated
@Deleted User that was @JC17-OR
@Deleted User My pleasure
I was wondering if someone could help me with a problem for my financial mathematics class?
<@&387091385075105804>
@Tycho Brahe @Zyzz you guys too may have some insight for @Deleted User ?
I'll go ahead and post a screenshot of the problem so people could see if they would be able to help.
