Method to write a function – 1
%this function has to be saved to run successfully.
Otherwise it will show
%an unrecognized function or variable error

%solve first order ODE using ode45
% Problem statement: Given: x=[0,3], y(0)=1, solve the
function dy/dx = -2x^3+x-y

Method to import and Excel Sheet – 1
Directly import by clicking the “Home Import Data”. A
new Window will pop-up similar to the excel file
showing all the data. Here, one can directly select the
portion of data that needs to be imported, and then
import by clicking “Import Selected”
Note: Data imported in this format will be imported in
“Table” format, Alternatively, on this window, we can
change the “Output Type” from “table” to “Column
Vectors” and clicking “Import Selection”. If imported
this way, each column will be imported as separate
“vector”.
If there are multiple Sheets in the Excel file, go to
“View” “Top/Bottom”. This will split the pop-up window
in two and also show the option to select any
particular sheet.
Method to import and Excel Sheet - 2
Diode = xlsread('Diode_reading.xlsx', 1,'A3:B14')
%1 is referring to the particular sheet in the Excel
file that we are
%trying to import. Change the number as per requirement
%A3:B14 is representing aonly the subsection of data
that we are importing %from Sheet 1
%This method works only if the Excel sheet is the
current folder
%If the Excel Sheet is in a different folder, then we
need to give the total path before executing the above
set of commands
path(path,'C:\Users\Mrudraj\Desktop\Temp') %This can be
directly copied from the "Location" heading in the pop
up window that comes by right clicking the sheet and
checking its properties
For loops
