The exercises are meant for self-monitoring and revision of the
lecture. You should try to solve them on your own. In contrast
to previous exercises, the solutions can not be saved in a single file
but each question needs an individual file. Combine the files into a
single zip archive and submit it via ILIAS. Name the archive according
to the pattern: ``scripts\_functions\_\{surname\}.zip''.
\begin{questions}
\question Calculate the factorial of a given number $n$.
\begin{parts}
\part{}
Version 1: Write a script that calculates the factorial of 5 and
displays the result on the command line.
\begin{solution}
\lstinputlisting{factorialscripta.m}
\end{solution}
\part{}
Version 2: like version 1, but as a function that takes $n$ as
input argument.
\begin{solution}
\lstinputlisting{printfactorial.m}
\lstinputlisting{factorialscriptb.m}
\end{solution}
\part{}
Version 3: like version 2, but the calculated result should not be
displayed on the command line but returned by the function. Write a
script that calls the function, accepts the returned value and then displays the result.
\begin{solution}
\lstinputlisting{myfactorial.m}
\lstinputlisting{factorialscriptc.m}
\end{solution}
\end{parts}
\question Graphical display of a sinewave.
\begin{parts}
\part{}
Implement a function that plots a sine with the amplitude 1 and
the frequency $f=50$\,Hz $\left(\sin(2\pi \cdot f \cdot t)\right)$. Call the
function in a script.
\begin{solution}
\lstinputlisting{plotsine50.m}
\lstinputlisting{plotsinea.m}
\end{solution}
\part{}
Improve the function that it takes the duration of the time axis,
the amplitude, and the frequency as input arguments. The
calculation should use a temporal stepsize that is 0.01 of the
frequency.
\begin{solution}
\lstinputlisting{plotsine.m} \lstinputlisting{plotsineb.m}
\end{solution}
\part{}
Write a script that calls the function and controls the
plotting. Change the function in a way that it returns
time-axis and the calculated sinwave.
\begin{solution}
\lstinputlisting{sinewave.m}
\lstinputlisting{plotsinec.m}
\end{solution}
\part{}
Write a second function that does the plotting. It accepts the
time and the sine as arguments. Make sure, that the plot is
properly labeled. Write a small script that uses both funtions to
plot a sine of $5$\,Hz frequency and an amplitude of 2 for a
duration of 1.5\,s.
\begin{solution}
\lstinputlisting{plotsinewave.m}
\lstinputlisting{plotsined.m}
\end{solution}
\end{parts}
%\question Schreibe eine Funktion, die bin\"are Datens\"atze
%('signal.bin' und 'signal2.bin' vom Montag) liest und die Daten als
%Vektor zur\"uckgibt. Welche Argumente muss die Funktion
%\"ubernehmen?
\question Random Walk. In a 1-D random walk an \emph{agent} walks
randomly either in the one ($+1$) or the other ($-1$)
direction. With each simulation step one direction is chosen and the
position is updated accordingly. \textbf{There are some differences
to the solution discussed in the lecture!}
\begin{parts}
\part{}
Read the exercise instructions completely before you start
implementing a solution. Analyze the requirements and then come up with a
program layout of scripts and functions. What would be a
suitable function to solve the core task? Which arguments should it
take? Which results should it return?
\begin{solution}
One function that computes one realisation of a random walk.
Scripts for plotting and analysis.
\lstinputlisting{randomwalkthresh.m}
\end{solution}
\part{}
Run the simulation 10 times and plot the time-course of the
positions of the \emph{agents} into the same plot. The probability
of the two directions should be the same. Each \emph{agent} starts
at position $0$ and the simulation should run until the position is
greater than $50$ or less than $-50$.
\begin{solution}
\lstinputlisting{randomwalkscriptb.m}
\end{solution}
\part{}
Now we want to know how the probability of $p_{+1}$ (the
probability to walk into the $+1$ direction) impacts the random
walk. Vary $p_{+1}$ in the range $0.5 \le p_{+1} < 0.8$. Do 10
random walks for the four probabilities (apply the same thresholds for
stopping the simulations as before).
\begin{solution}
\lstinputlisting{randomwalkscriptc.m}
\end{solution}
\part{}
How does $p_{+1}$ affect the number of simulation steps? Plot the
averages and standard deviations as a function of $p_{+1}$.
\begin{solution}
\lstinputlisting{randomwalkscriptd.m}
\end{solution}
