Get Scilab Bag Of Tricks The Scilab-2

Scilab supports the following data types: %c – diaplays a unique character. %s – displays a string of characters. %d – displays an integer decimal number with sign. %i – displays an integer decimal number with sign.

Description. intersect(a,b) returns a sorted row vector of common values of two vectors of a and b .

sqrt(x) is the vector of the square root of the x elements. Result is complex if x is negative.

Remarks. For square matrices A^p is computed through successive matrices multiplications if p is a positive integer, and by diagonalization if not (see "note 2 and 3" below for details). If A is a square and Hermitian matrix and p is a non-integer scalar, A^p is computed as: A^p = u*diag(diag(s).

Exponentiation is right-associative in Scilab, contrarily to Matlab® and Octave. For example 2^3^4 is equal to 2^(3^4) in Scilab, but to (2^3)^4 in Matlab® and Octave.

sqrt(x) is the vector/matrix of the square root of the x elements. Result is complex if element of x is negative.

Remarks. For square matrices A^p is computed through successive matrices multiplications if p is a positive integer, and by diagonalization if not (see "note 2 and 3" below for details). If A is a square and Hermitian matrix and p is a non-integer scalar, A^p is computed as: A^p = u*diag(diag(s).

We can check the values in the variables by typing the names of the variables separated by commas on the command line as -->a,b,c,d gives a = 1. b = 2. c = 3.
