Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

To write:

An expression that would display a random element from a cell array and a function that will receive one cell array as input argument and will display a random element from it.

Answer to Problem 8.1P

Solution:

The file is,

%MATLAB code to create a cell array and perform the operations.

%cell array file.

X = {41,'hiii', 1:4;'matlab', 10, 1:2:9}

%define a cell array.

X{randi(numel(X))}

%define the random element from the cell array.

Z = X'

%get the transpose of the cell array.

Z{randi(numel(Z))}

%define the random element from the above cell array.

%end of cell array file

%The cell array file should be placed in the same folder.

The function file is,

%MATLAB code to create a cell array and get the random element from the cell arary.

%function file.

function A = randomelement(cell)

A = cell{randi(numel(cell))};

end

%end of function file

%The function file should be placed in the same folder

Explanation of Solution

Consider the cell array is,

 A = {41,'hiii', 1:4;'matlab', 10, 1:2:9}

The random element from the above array is,

ans=‘hiii’

MATLAB Code:

clc

clear all

close all

%MATLAB code to create a cell array and perform the operations.

%cell array file.

X = {41,'hiii', 1:4;'matlab', 10, 1:2:9}

%define a cell array.

X{randi(numel(X))}

%define the random element from the cell array.

Z = X'

%get the transpose of the cell array.

Z{randi(numel(Z))}

%define the random element from the above cell array.

%end of cell array file

%The cell array file should be placed in the same folder.

%MATLAB code to create a cell array and get the random element from the cell arary.

%function file.

function A = randomelement(cell)

A = cell{randi(numel(cell))};

end

%end of function file

%The function file should be placed in the same folder

Save the MATLAB cell array file with name, chapter8_54793_8_1P.m and a function file with the name of randomelement.m in the current folder. Execute the function by typing the function name at the command window to generate output.

Result:

If you use TI calculator functions, you may write your work along with functions and values you I used and answers on a paper or type on an empty Word document or Excel file. If you use Ti calculator app on your computer or phone, you may provide screen shots of those on a word document or Excel file. Clearly provide the function along with values for the work. If you use Excel, you may use the Excel calculator or Excel as a calculator on your computer to provide complete work and the final answer on it. Please provide all the answers to the following questions on the same Excel sheet. If you use formula, you may write all your steps with numbers on a paper and submit a photo of it. Otherwise, you may type all those steps on a Word document or an Excel file. Do NOT round in the middle steps…
