 MATLAB Practical Exam Topics
You will be creating a function and a script file. Your tasks could include
the following:
1. Use load or xlsread to import data
2. Extract individual columns of data
3. Use while loop(s) to perform calculation(s) until a condition is reached
4. Use selection statements
5. Create vector(s)
6. Count occurrences (user-created function only)
7. Calculate a sum or average (user-created function only)
8. Find minimum or maximum values (user-created function only)
9. Report the results in formatted output statement (fprintf)
10.Create a properly labelled plot (using plot or plotyy)

Practice Problem is available on Canvas.

Also look at your HW11B Rocket Launch

 Another Example
Multiple Series on One Plot: plotyy
Placing multiple series on one plot can be useful if you have related plots that
have the same x-scale and values, but a different y-scale

1. Either create one plot using plotyy (see example below) or

2. Create two figures (use subplot)

x = 0:0.01:20;
y1 = 200*exp(-0.05*x).*sin(x);
y2 = 0.8*exp(-0.5*x).*sin(10*x);
[my_axes,series_1,series_2] = plotyy(x,y1,x,y2);
ylabel(my_axes(1),'Slow Decay'); %labels y1 axis
ylabel(my_axes(2),'Fast Decay'); %labels y2 axis
xlabel(my_axes(1),'Time');%labels x axis
title(my_axes(1),'Comparison of Decay Periods'); %title
set(series_1,'LineStyle','--','Color','r');%line style & color for series 1
set(series_2,'LineStyle',':','Color','b'); %line style & color for series 2
