how to multiply each row in a column by different numbers

3 views (last 30 days)
say, a file consists of a single column with 10000 rows
load file.txt
a = file;
k=1:10000;
s = a(k,1).*cosd(3.6*k);
k=0:10000;
plot(k,s)
xlabel('k');
it does work at all, could anyone help?

Do you know how to use the debugger to step though your code? This would be easily solved if you did that.

it says:
Error in ==> Untitled3 at 5 s = a(k,1)-56.97*cosd(3.6*k)-31.98*sind(3.6*k);
how to fix it, i really have no any idea.

Try this if a is a column vector:
load file.txt
a = file;
k = [1:size(a,1)]';
s = a.*(cosd(3.6*k));
plot(k,s)
xlabel('k');
Alternatively, k can be any column vector you wish to perform element-by-element multiplication with a. Just make sure a and k are of the same size.
