Here's how you can write a user-defined function that adds or subtracts two polynomials of any order in Matlab:
main.m1044 chars34 lines
The function takes in two arrays poly1
and poly2
, which represent the coefficients of the two polynomials, and a boolean isAddition
, which indicates whether to add or subtract the polynomials. The function first pads the shorter polynomial with zeros to ensure that both input arrays are the same length. It then performs the addition or subtraction depending on the value of isAddition
. The resulting polynomial may have trailing zeros that can be removed with a simple while
loop. Following the example usage, you can call poly_add_sub
with the two polynomials you want to add or subtract and set the isAddition
parameter to true
if you want to add the polynomials, or false
if you want to subtract.
