create a function that adds up any single row single column single diagonal left to right in matlab

To create a function that adds up any single row, single column, or single diagonal from left to right in MATLAB, you can define a function that takes the matrix as input and the desired row, column, or diagonal index.

Here's an example of how you can create such a function:

main.m
function sumValue = sumSingleRowColDiagonal(matrix, index, type)
    % Get the size of the matrix
    [m, n] = size(matrix);
    % Initialize the sum value
    sumValue = 0;
    
    % Check the type parameter
    switch type
        case 'row'
            % Check if the index is valid
            if index > 0 && index <= m
                % Sum the elements in the specified row
                sumValue = sum(matrix(index, :));
            else
                error('Invalid row index');
            end
        case 'column'
            % Check if the index is valid
            if index > 0 && index <= n
                % Sum the elements in the specified column
                sumValue = sum(matrix(:, index));
            else
                error('Invalid column index');
            end
        case 'diagonal'
            % Check if the index is valid
            if index > -(m-1) && index < n
                % Sum the elements in the specified diagonal
                if index >= 0
                    sumValue = sum(diag(matrix, index));
                else
                    sumValue = sum(diag(matrix, abs(index)));
                end
            else
                error('Invalid diagonal index');
            end
        otherwise
            error('Invalid type');
    end
end

You can use this function like this:

main.m
% Create a sample matrix
matrix = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];

% Sum the elements in the second row
rowSum = sumSingleRowColDiagonal(matrix, 2, 'row');

% Sum the elements in the third column
colSum = sumSingleRowColDiagonal(matrix, 3, 'column');

% Sum the elements in the main diagonal
diagonalSum = sumSingleRowColDiagonal(matrix, 0, 'diagonal');

In this example, we created a function called sumSingleRowColDiagonal that takes three inputs: matrix (the input matrix), index (the index of the desired row, column, or diagonal), and type (the type of sum operation to perform: 'row', 'column', or 'diagonal'). The function checks the validity of the index and type and calculates the sum accordingly.

Please note that this function assumes that the input matrix is square. If you want to handle non-square matrices, you may need to modify the function accordingly.
