Number: 4.34 Character: ‘variable_name’ Do not need to state variable types

a=4.34 cellname=‘networks’

Built-in variable (do not use them) pi, Inf, -Inf, ans, NaN

Variables

row=[1,2,3,4,5] a 1*5 matrix

column=[1;2;3;4;5] a 5*1 matrix

a=[1,2;3,4] a 2*2 matrix

Arrays and matrix

You can give any variable names to row and column.

a=

a=xlsread(filename) a=xlsread(filename,sheet) a=xlsread(filename,xlRange) a=xlsread(filename,sheet,xlRange)

Full matrix read

For other import and export functions in Matlab, such as textual data, XML, etc., you can find relevant information here: http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/data-import-and-export.html

xlswrite(filename,A) xlswrite(filename,A,sheet) xlswrite(filename,A,xlRange) xlswrite(filename,A,sheet,xlRange)

Full matrix write

a = csvread(filename,row,col) csvwrite(filename,a,row,col)

CSV files

row and col are zero based, meaning that they start from 0 but not 1

S = spconvert(D) Sparse matrix format

row_id col_id value First use load to upload the data into

Matlab and then use spconvert to convert the data into a matrix load datasample.txt M = spconvert(datasample)

Sparse matrix import

You can use mmwrite(filename,M) http://math.nist.gov/MatrixMarket/m
