Re: Help filling an array

[Rob Teasdale]

Hi Muthiah,

Thanks for your reply.

quad() was my first choice (my old MATLAB book recommends this as well), but I 
could not figure how to pass it a vector when it was expecting a function (my 
results are actual pressure readings at a particular time rather than a model 
and any model tends to be quite inaccurate anyway)  From the manual


— Loadable Function: [v, ier, nfun, err] = quad (f, a, b, tol, sing)

Integrate a nonlinear function of one variable using Quadpack. 
The first argument is the name of the  function, the function handle or
the inline function to call to compute the value of the integrand

This is why I used trapz as it was simply a matter of passing it the limits of 
integration. I expected that I would modify it when I worked out how to pass it 
my results vector,

Thanks again,
Rob

IMHO quad() is the  fastest function for integration than most home-brewn
code, or even trapz I believe.
