how is logspace function used in matlab

The logspace function in MATLAB is used to create a logarithmically spaced vector of values. The function takes the start and end points of the range, and the number of points desired within that range, and returns a vector with logarithmically spaced values.

Here is the syntax for the logspace function in MATLAB:

main.m
y = logspace(a, b, n)
22 chars
2 lines

Where:

  • a is the 10 raised to the power of a is the starting point of the range
  • b is the 10 raised to the power of b is the ending point of the range
  • n is the number of logarithmically spaced points desired within the range

The returned vector y will have n elements, logarithmically spaced between 10^a and 10^b.

Here is an example usage of the logspace function:

main.m
x = logspace(0, 2, 5);
23 chars
2 lines

In this example, x will be a vector with 5 logarithmically spaced values between 10^0 and 10^2. The resulting vector would be [1.0000, 3.1623, 10.0000, 31.6228, 100.0000].

Hope this helps!
