Step-By-Step Guide to Change the Diagonal of a Matrix in MATLAB

Technical writing is not only about boring, text-heavy instruction manuals. It's about conveying technical information in a way that is user friendly, clear, and concise.

In this doc post, we'll guide you through the steps of changing the diagonal of a Matrix in MATLAB. You will also find an FAQ section with a minimum of 5 questions to answer any doubts you might have during the process.

Step-By-Step Guide

1. Defining your Matrix

The first step is to define your matrix A. A matrix is a rectangular array of elements arranged in rows and columns, such as

A=[1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9]

2. Outputting the Diagonal Elements

Then, you can output the diagonal elements of A by using the command diag(A)

3. Store the Diagonal Elements in a Vector

You can then store the diagonal elements into a Vector by using the command v=diag(A).

4. Change the Diagonal Elements

You can then change the elements by using the command v(2)=27

5. Storing the Changed Vector into Matrix

You can store the changed Vector back in Matrix A by using the command A=diag(v)
