2. Use operators effectively in MATLAB programs.
Chapter 1: Programs Using Mathematical and Relational
Expressions
Topics Covered:
Basic mathematical operations (+, -, *, /, ^)
Relational operators (<, <=, >, >=, ==, ~=)
Logical operators (&, |, ~)
Example 1: Program to calculate the area of a circle
radius = 5;
area = pi * radius^2;
disp(['Area of the circle: ', num2str(area)]);
Example 2: Program to compare two numbers

b = 20;
if a > b
disp('a is greater than b');
else
disp('b is greater than or equal to a');
end
Exercises:

B = [5, 6; 7, 8];
C = A * B;
disp('Result of matrix multiplication:');
disp(C);
Example 2: Array operations (element-wise)
A = [1, 2, 3];
B = [4, 5, 6];
C = A .* B; % Element-wise multiplication
disp('Element-wise multiplication:');
disp(C);
Chapter 3: Cell Arrays and Structures
Example 1: Creating and accessing a cell array
cellArray = {'MATLAB', 42, [1, 2, 3]};
disp('First element of cell array:');
disp(cellArray{1});
Example 2: Using structures
student.name = 'John';
student.age = 21;
student.marks = [85, 90, 78];
disp('Student structure:');
disp(student);
Exercises:
1. Create a program to add two matrices and display the result.
2. Write a program to store and display student details using
structures.

3. Understand object-oriented programming basics.
Chapter 4: Plotting and Visualization
Example 1: Basic 2D Plot

y = sin(x);
plot(x, y, '-r', 'LineWidth', 2);
title('Sine Wave');
xlabel('x');
ylabel('sin(x)');
grid on;
Example 2: Adding multiple plots
x = linspace(0, 10, 100);
plot(x, sin(x), 'r', x, cos(x), 'b');
legend('sin(x)', 'cos(x)');
title('Trigonometric Functions');
Chapter 5: Sound and Image Processing
Example 1: Read and play a sound file
[y, Fs] = audioread('example.wav');
sound(y, Fs);
Example 2: Load and display an image
img = imread('example.jpg');
imshow(img);
title('Loaded Image');
Examples: Create a bar plot from data.
Program to create a bar plot
data = [5, 10, 15, 20];
bar(data);
title('Bar Plot');
xlabel('Categories');
ylabel('Values');
Explanation: 'bar' creates a bar chart, and we set labels and title for better
visualization.
Examples: Convert a colored image to grayscale.
Program to load and convert an image to grayscale
img = imread('example.jpg');
grayImg = rgb2gray(img);
imshow(grayImg);
title('Grayscale Image');
Explanation: 'imread' loads an image, 'rgb2gray' converts it to grayscale,
and 'imshow' displays it.
Examples: Load and visualize sound waveforms.
Program to read and visualize a sound file
[y, Fs] = audioread('example.wav');
plot(y);
title('Sound Waveform');
xlabel('Time');
ylabel('Amplitude');
Explanation: 'audioread' reads the sound file, and 'plot' visualizes the
waveform.
Exercises:
1. Create a bar plot for a given data set.
2. Load an image, convert it to grayscale, and display both.
3. Read a sound file and visualize its waveform.
MODULE IV: INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING
Learning Objectives:
1. Use selection and loop statements.
2. Write scripts and user-defined functions.
3. Input and output values in programs.
Chapter 6: Selection and Loop Statements
Example 1: Using if-else
x = 10;
if mod(x, 2) == 0
disp('x is even');
else
disp('x is odd');
end
Example 2: Using a for loop
for i = 1:5
disp(['Iteration: ', num2str(i)]);
end
Examples: Display numbers from 1 to 10 using a loop.
Program to display numbers from 1 to 10 using a loop
for i = 1:10
disp(i);
end
Explanation: 'for' loop iterates over numbers from 1 to 10, and 'disp' prints
each number.
Examples: Calculate the factorial of a number.
Program to calculate the factorial of a number
number = 5; % Example value
factorial = 1;
for i = 1:number
factorial = factorial * i;
end
disp(['Factorial: ', num2str(factorial)]);
Explanation: Multiply each number from 1 to 'number' to calculate the
factorial.
Examples: Use a switch-case structure to display the day of the
week.
Program to display the day of the week using switch-case
dayNum = 3; % Example value
switch dayNum
case 1
disp('Monday');
case 2
disp('Tuesday');
case 3
disp('Wednesday');
case 4
disp('Thursday');
case 5
disp('Friday');
case 6
disp('Saturday');

disp('Sunday');
otherwise
disp('Invalid day number.');
end
Explanation: 'switch' matches the case based on 'dayNum' and displays
the correspondi
