MATLAB User Defined Custom Functions

The video tutorial explains the use of MATLAB functions, both built-in and user-defined. It guides viewers through creating a custom function, handling multiple arguments, and using vectors. The tutorial also covers best practices for function naming and provides additional resources for learning.

What is the purpose of the Max operator in MATLAB?

• To find the maximum value between two numbers

• To multiply two numbers

• To calculate the average of two numbers

• To find the minimum value between two numbers

What is a crucial step when saving a user-defined function in MATLAB?

• Using a random file extension

• Naming the file with a different name than the function

• Saving it in a different directory

• Saving it with the same name as the function

How can you modify a function to accept multiple inputs in MATLAB?

• By writing separate functions for each input

• By using a global variable

• By defining multiple input arguments

• By using a single input variable

What is a vector in the context of MATLAB functions?

• A single number

• A string of text

• A list of numbers

• A complex number

Why is it important to avoid naming conflicts with built-in MATLAB functions?

• To ensure the function runs faster

• To prevent errors and ensure the correct function is called

• To save memory space

• To make the code look cleaner

What should you do if MATLAB cannot find your custom function?

• Reinstall MATLAB

• Rename the function

• Check if the function is in the active directory or search path

• Restart MATLAB

What is a good practice when creating custom function names in MATLAB?

• Using names that are similar to built-in functions

• Using descriptive names that do not conflict with built-in functions

• Using very short names

• Using random characters
