compute eigenvalues of a matrix in matlab

To compute the eigenvalues of a square matrix in MATLAB, you can use the eig function. Here's an example:

main.m
% Define a matrix
A = [1 2; 3 4];

% Compute the eigenvalues
eig(A)
68 chars
6 lines

This will output an array of the eigenvalues of the matrix A. If you would like to get both eigenvalues and eigenvectors, you can use two output arguments:

main.m
% Define a matrix
A = [1 2; 3 4];

% Compute the eigenvalues and eigenvectors
[V, D] = eig(A)
94 chars
6 lines

Here, V will contain the eigenvectors and D will be a diagonal matrix containing the eigenvalues on its diagonal.
