Each of the following examples has one or more issues. Identify them and try to fix them. What was the intent? Why was it broken? Can you think of a better way to do it?
x = zeros(10,1);
x[9] = 1; % set the 9th element to 1
y = (ones(10,1), zeros(10,1)); % a long column
z = Mean( rand(100,1) ); % taking the mean
v = rand(10,1); % vector of 10 random #s
for i in 1:10
if i == 3
% when the index is 3 skip step by
% setting i to 4
i = 4;
end
end
% calculate the mean
nums = randn(100,1);
mean = sum(nums)./numel(nums); % BAD! why??
% calculate the variance
nums = randn(100,1);
var = (nums-mean(nums)).^2; % BAD for 2 reasons! why??
% calculate some stats
nums = randn(100,1);
foo = mean(nums);
Foo = median(nums);
foO = mode(nums);
fOo = var(nums);
fO0 = std(nums)./mean(nums);
x = -2:0.2:2;
y = x.^2-1+1/3-x-2.*0.2;
