Avoid common MATLAB mistakes — indexing traps, matrix vs element-wise ops, and vectorization pitfalls.
Avoid common MATLAB mistakes — indexing traps, matrix vs element-wise ops, and vectorization pitfalls.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
1-based indexing — first element is A(1), not A(0) end keyword for last index — A(end), A(end-1), works in any dimension Linear indexing on matrices — A(5) accesses 5th element column-major order Logical indexing returns vector — A(A > 0) gives 1D result regardless of A's shape
* is matrix multiplication — .* for element-wise / solves A*x = B — ./ for element-wise division ^ is matrix power — .^ for element-wise power Forgetting the dot is silent bug — dimensions might accidentally match
Row vector: [1 2 3] or [1, 2, 3] — shape is 1×3 Column vector: [1; 2; 3] — shape is 3×1 Transpose with ' (conjugate) or .' (non-conjugate) — for complex, they differ * between row and column gives scalar or matrix — depending on order
Growing arrays in loops is slow — preallocate: A = zeros(1000, 1) zeros, ones, nan for preallocation — specify size upfront Cell arrays: cell(n, m) — preallocate cells too
Implicit expansion since R2016b — A + b works if dimensions compatible Singleton dimensions expand — [1;2;3] + [10 20] gives 3×2 Before R2016b needed bsxfun — legacy code may still use it
NaN ~= NaN is true — use isnan() to check Most operations propagate NaN — sum([1 NaN 3]) is NaN Use 'omitnan' flag — sum(A, 'omitnan'), mean(A, 'omitnan')
{} for cell arrays — hold mixed types, different sizes () indexing returns cell — C(1) is 1×1 cell {} indexing extracts content — C{1} is the actual value Comma-separated list from C{:} — useful for function arguments
= for assignment, == for comparison — if x = 5 is error in MATLAB Semicolon suppresses output — forget it and flood command window clear removes all variables — use clearvars for selective, close all for figures i and j are imaginary unit — don't use as loop variables, or reassign explicitly String vs char: "text" vs 'text' — double quotes are string arrays (R2017a+)
Anonymous functions: f = @(x) x^2 — quick inline functions Multiple outputs: [a, b] = func() — must capture or use ~ to ignore nargin/nargout for optional args — check how many inputs/outputs provided varargin/varargout for variable args — cell array of extra arguments
dbstop if error — breakpoint on any error keyboard in code pauses execution — enter debug mode at that line whos shows variable sizes — size(A) for specific variable
