MATLAB 指令窗中的help指令和lookfor指令

2.9.2 指令窗中的 help 指令

2.9.2.1 直接使用 help 获得指令的使用说明

【例 2.9.2 .1-1 】假如准确知道所要求助的主题词，或指令名称，那末使用 help 是获得在线帮助的最简单有效的途径。本例演示：关于矩阵对数函数 logm 使用说明的在线求助。

 help logm
 LOGM Matrix logarithm.
 L = LOGM(A) is the matrix logarithm of A, the inverse of EXPM(A). Complex results are produced if A has negative eigenvalues. A warning message is printed if the computed expm(L) is not close to A.

 [L,esterr] = logm(A) does not print any warning message, but returns an estimate of the relative residual,norm(expm(L)-A)/norm(A).

 If A is real symmetric or complex Hermitian, then so is LOGM(A).

 Some matrices, like A = [0 1; 0 0], do not have any logarithms, real or complex, and LOGM cannot be expected to produce one.

 See also EXPM, SQRTM, FUNM.

2.9.2.2 使用 help 指令进行分类搜索

【例 2.9.2 .2-1 】运行不带任何限定的 help ，可以得到分类名称明细表。

help
HELP topics:
matlab\general - General purpose commands.
matlab\ops - Operators and special characters.
matlab\lang - Programming language constructs.
matlab\elmat - Elementary matrices and matrix manipulation.
matlab\elfun - Elementary math functions.
matlab\specfun - Specialized math functions.
......            ......
For more help on directory/topic, type "help topic".

2.9.2.3 采用 help topic 指令形式获得具体子类的指令明细

【例 2.9.2 .3-1 】如果用户想知道有关矩阵操作指令一栏表，那末就运行以下指令。

help elmat
Elementary matrices and matrix manipulation.
Elementary matrices.
zeros - Zeros array.
ones - Ones array.
...... ......
