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
`v = a.^b`
now it's giving me the last one instead of the first one as the output
so [8]
instead of [2]
hmm I see, I'm at work now will have to check this out in a little while (unless someone else steps in π )
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! π
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.
@Deleted User What's the question? If you drop it here then when someone who can help comes on they can work on it
yeah perfect
Here are my notes. The example is supposed to align with how to do the problem, I just canβt seem to get the right answer.
