Revision as of 17:38, 10 July 2014
| Time | Narration |
| 00:01 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial onFile handling using Scilab. |
| 00:06. | In this tutorial, we will learn |
| 00:08 | Input Function |
| 00:10 | Formatting the Output |
| 00:12 | save function |
| 00:14 | load function |
| 00:16 | For Demonstration i am using Ubuntu Linux12.04 operating system with Scilab version 5.3.3 installed |
| 00:26 | You should have Basic knowledge of Scilab. |
| 00:29 | If not, for relevant spoken tutorials on Scilab please visit spoken hyphen tutorial dot org |
| 00.37 | The input() function is used to take the input from the user. |
| 00.42 | It provides a prompt in the text string for user input. |
| 00.47 | It waits for input from the keyboard. |
| 00.51 | If nothing but a carriage return is entered at the prompt, input() function returns an empty matrix. |
| 00.59 | The input function can be written in two ways . |
| 01.03 | First ,x= input into brackets message to display |
| 01.09 | Second,x= input into brackets ("message to display","strings"). |
| 01.17 | In the second example, the second argument is “string”. |
| 01.22 | So the output is a character string, which is the expression entered using the keyboard. |
| 01.29 | Switch to the Scilab Console window and type, |
| 01.33 | x is equal to input open bracket inside double quotes Enter your age close the double quotes close the bracket and press enter. |
| 01.49 | Type 25 and press enter |
| 01.53 | Now type -->y is equal to input into bracket into double quotes Enter your age close the double quotes comma again inside double quotes write string close the bracket and press enter |
| 02.14 | type 25 and press enter |
| 02.18 | We see that in both the cases the input we entered through keyboard, was a number 25. |
| 02.25 | Now, let us check the type of variable that x and y are. |
| 02.30 | Let us clear the console using clc command. |
| 02.34 | We are doing this to validate the use and importance of the argument “string”, given in the second example. |
| 02.42 | To check the type of variable, let us type |
| 02.45 | -->typeof into brackets xand press enter |
| 02.51 | similarly; typeof(y) and press enter |
| 02.57 | You can see it yourself, that the first answer stored in x is of type constant and |
| 03.04 | second answer stored in y, with the argument “string” included in the command, is of type string. |
| 03.12 | Let us now see how to format the output that is displayed on the console. |
| 03.17 | This can be done using the mprintf() function. |
| 03.22 | mprintf() function converts, formats and writes data on to the Scilab console. |
| 03.28 | It is an interface for C-coded version of printf function. |
| 03.34 | Let us see an example for this.Switch to the console |
| 03.38 | Type-->mprintf into bracket into quotes type iteration percent i comma result is colon slash n alpha equal to percentf comma 33 comma 0.535 close the bracket, |
| 04.12 | Here 33 will be displayed in place of percent i and point 535 will be displayed in place of percent f as a flow, press enter |
| 04.26 | This will give the output as At iteration 33, Result is alpha is equal to 0.535000. |
| 04.39 | Clear the console. Now let us see another example. |
| 04.44 | In print f open bracket into quotes value of x is equal to percentage d is taken as a constant comma while value of y is equal to percent s is taken as a string close the quotes comma x comma y close the bracket |
| 05.19 | In the above example percentage d is used to insert a constant data stored in variable x and |
| 05.28 | percentage s is used to insert a string data stored in variable y. press enter you see the output |
| 05.38 | Now, let us discuss the use of save and load command. |
| 05.43 | To quit Scilab midway through a calculation and to |
| 05.47 | continue to a later stage type save thissession |
| 05.52 | This will save the current values of all variables to a file called thissession. |
| 05.58 | This file cannot be edited. |
| 06.01 | It is in binary format. |
| 06.04 | When you next start Scilab, type load thissession |
| 06.08 | and the computation can be resumed where you left off. |
| 06.13 | The purpose of save and load function are |
| 06.16 | The save() command saves all the scilab current variables in a binary file. |
| 06.22 | If the variable is a graphic handle, the save function saves all the corresponding graphics_entities definition. |
| 06.31 | The file can be given either by its paths or by its descriptor previously given. |
| 06.37 | save(filename) saves all the current variables in a file defined by filename. |
| 06.45 | save into bracket fd saves all the current variables in the file defined by the descriptor fd. |
| 06.53 | save(filename,x,y) or save(fd,x,y) saves only named variables x and y. |
| 07.02 | Let us see an example to illustrate the save and load commands usage. |
| 07.07 | Switch back to the console . Let us define two matrices say a and b |
| 07.14 | -->a = eye of (2,2) and press enter |
| 07.22 | Type;b=ones(a) and press enter |
| 07.28 | Clear the console using clc command. Now type |
| 07.34 | |
| 07.42 | or it can also be written as |
| 07.46 | save into brackets into quotes matrix dash a dash b dot dat close the quotes comma a comma b close the braket and press enter |
| 08.03 | This saves the values of variables in a binary file matrix dash a dash b dot dat in the present working directory. |
| 08.12 | You can browse the present working directory to check the existence of this binary file. |
| 08.17 | You can see it here. I will close the file browser. |
| 08.22 | Now let us load the file back in to the variables. |
| 08.26 | Before this, let us clear the variables a and b |
| 08.29 | Type clear a space b press enter |
| 08.34 | Let us cross check if these variables are really cleared. |
| 08.39 | ->a |
| 08.40 | b |
| 08.41 | Now let us load back the values from the binary files in these variables a and b using the load command. |
| 08.49 | Type Load into bracket into quote matrix dash a dash b dot dat close the quotes comma into quotes a comma into quotes b close the bracket and press enter |
| 09.08 | Let us check the values in variables a and b. Clear the console. |
| 09.14 | Type >a And-->b |
| 09.18 | You can see the values are loaded back in the variables. |
| 09.23 | In this tutorial we learnt - |
| 09.24 | Input Function using input command |
| 09.28 | Formatting the Output using mprintf command |
| 09.31 | Save Function |
