create a function that gets the average of a 2x3 matrix in matlab

To create a function that gets the average of a 2x3 matrix in MATLAB, you can follow these steps:

  1. Define a function with an input argument that represents the matrix.
  2. Inside the function, use the mean function in MATLAB to compute the average of the matrix along the desired dimension.
  3. Return the computed average value.

Here is an example implementation of the function:

main.m
function avg = matrixAverage(matrix)
    avg = mean(matrix, 'all');
end
72 chars
4 lines

In this function, the mean function is used with the 'all' option to compute the average of all elements in the matrix. The computed average is then returned as the output of the function.

You can call this function with a 2x3 matrix to get the average:

main.m
matrix = [1, 2, 3; 4, 5, 6];
average = matrixAverage(matrix);
disp(average);
77 chars
4 lines

This will output the average value of the matrix.

Note: If you want to compute the average along a different dimension of the matrix, you can modify the second argument of the mean function accordingly.
