Question

Matlab script that uses loops to create a multiplication table (matrix) where the user enters 'n' (nxn chart).

Answer 1

number = input('Enter the number you want the multiplication table to be created');

for i = [1:20]
    fprintf('%d x %d = %d\n',number,i,number*i);
end

Save this program as multiplication_table.m

function generate_table(number)

%this function will generate a multiplication table

for i = [1:20]
    fprintf('%d x %d = %d\n',number,i,number*i);
end
end

Save this program as generate_table.m

(1:10)' * (1:10) 
%Type this in command prompt

for i = (1:10)
    for j = (1:10)
        fprintf('%d\t',i*j);
    end
    fprintf('\n');
end

Save this program as table_multiplication.m

Finally type table_multiplication in command prompt, you get following output of multiplication table:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20

3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30

4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40

5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50

6 12 18 24 30 36 42 48 54 60

7 14 21 28 35 42 49 56 63 70

8 16 24 32 40 48 56 64 72 80

9 18 27 36 45 54 63 72 81 90

10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100
