Oh MATLAB

Name: Laur 2013-01-25 4:32

So I'm back here again. Same girl who pulled an all-nighter last week trying to write a program in MATLAB. It's happening again. Only this time I need to be in a research lab at 8 AM, so I have even less time.

Anyway, this program runs perfectly. It calculates power, equivalent resistance, etc. The problem is simple and it's one I've had constantly. How do I get the three row vectors to show up as columns side by side as a matrix instead of as one long column vector? They did an example in the book that did this, but when I used those commands, it didn't fucking work. Here's the program:


clear all;
v=input('Enter the source voltage: ');
nresistors=input('Enter number of resistors (must be >0): ');
R=input('Enter resistance of first resistor (must be >0): ');
n=1;
sum=0;
Ptotal=0;
while R>0&&(n<=nresistors)
    resistance(n)=R
    sum=sum+(1/R)
    current(n)=v/R
    Power(n)=v*(v/R)
    Ptotal=Ptotal+(v*(v/R))
    n=n+1
    if n>nresistors
        Requiv=1/sum;
        sourcecurrent=v/Requiv;
        Final=[R'; current'; Power'];
        disp('         RESISTANCE (/omega)      CURRENT (A)      POWER (V)')
        disp(' ')
        disp(Final)
        fprintf('The source current is %f A and the total power is %g V.',sourcecurrent,Ptotal)
        quit;
    end
    R=input('Enter resistance (must be > 0). : ');
end
n=n-1;
if n==0
    disp('Error: No values entered for resistance.')
end


 The problem is in this line: Final=[R'; current'; Power']; Thank you! Btw, I'm aware I need semicolons and I probably could have done this more efficiently. The semicolons are missing because I was testing this shit and it's not efficient because I'm clearly a noob.

This board is currently shit, thanks to a fascist and a neo-Nazi whose constant bullshit got almost everyone else to leave.  If you're interested, you might want to read the older threads such as the "fibonacci butt sort" or the "sleepsort algorithm" threads to see what we once were.  Also, you won't achieve enlightenment unless you read SICP.  Also, if it ain't Lisp, it's crap.  Unless it's Common Lisp, in which case it's diarrhoea.

Yes, you're a useless stupid fuck because you have a vagina.
Illogical sexist cretin.

Illogical racist cretin.
