In MATLAB one should try to avoid loops. This can be done by vectorizing your code. The idea is that MATLAB is very fast on vector and matrix operations and correspondingly slow with loops. We illustrate this by an example.
EXAMPLE 1
Given an=n, and bn=1000−n for n=1,...,1000. Calculate
1000 |
∑ |
n=1 |
ssum
.Solution: It might be tempting to implement the above calculation as
a = 1:1000; b = 1000 - a; ssum=0; for n=1:1000 %poor style... ssum = ssum +a(n)*b(n); end
ssum = a*b' %Vectorized, better!
