Matlab基本函数-length函数

1、length函数：计算向量或矩阵的长度

2、用法说明

      y = length(x) 函数计算指定向量或矩阵的长度y。如果参数变量x是向量，则返回其长度；如果参数变量是非空矩阵，则length(x)与max(size(x))等价

3、举例说明

>> x = 'youhaidong'

x =

youhaidong

>> y = length(x)

y =

    10

>> x = rand(6,6)

x =

    0.8147    0.2785    0.9572    0.7922    0.6787    0.7060
    0.9058    0.5469    0.4854    0.9595    0.7577    0.0318
    0.1270    0.9575    0.8003    0.6557    0.7431    0.2769
    0.9134    0.9649    0.1419    0.0357    0.3922    0.0462
    0.6324    0.1576    0.4218    0.8491    0.6555    0.0971
    0.0975    0.9706    0.9157    0.9340    0.1712    0.8235

>> y = length(x)

y =

     6

>> help length
 length   Length of vector.
    length(X) returns the length of vector X.  It is equivalent
    to MAX(SIZE(X)) for non-empty arrays and 0 for empty ones.
