请问这个语句表示什么意思？

[yangn2003]

t=0:0.001:2*pi; %define the array t
switch flag
case 1
y=sin(w*t); %through the value of the popupmenue
case 2 %to caculate the sin, cos, tan,cot
y=cos(w*t);
case 3
y=tan(w*t);
case 4
y=cot(w*t);
end

通过和t相乘，y得出了多个值，形成了一个抛物线图，感觉t像是一个包含了多个值的数组，可是 t=0:0.001:2*pi; 又该怎么理解，0，0.001，2，pi，在这里各表示什么意思？

[remnant]

t=0:0.001:2*pi; %define the array t
switch flag
case 1
y=sin(w*t); %through the value of the popupm...

t = 0 : 0.001 : 2*pi;

定义t的最小值为0， 最大值为2*pi，步进0.001
t = 0 , 0.001, 0.002, 0.003, 0.004, ... , 2*pi;
写成通式：
x = x_min : x_step : x_max
如果写成 x = x_min : x_max则默认x_step为1

这是一个求三角函数的题。
t=0:0.001:2*pi；%表示 起始值：=0，增量为：0.001，终止值：2*pi
然后用swith...case...语句得到不同的值，以 end 终止。

楼主，在分支语句前程序中有没有交代w的值？

[yangn2003]

这个程序完整的代码是这样的：

function varargout = ex71(varargin)
% EX71 M-file for ex71.fig
% EX71, by itself, creates a new EX71 or raises the existing
% singleton*.
%
% H = EX71 returns the handle to a new EX71 or the handle to
% the existing singleton*.
%
% EX71('CALLBACK',hObject,eventData,handles,...) calls the local
% function named CALLBACK in EX71.M with the given input arguments.
%
% EX71('Property','Value',...) creates a new EX71 or raises the
% existing singleton*. Starting from the left, property value pairs are
% applied to the GUI before ex71_OpeningFunction gets called. An
% unrecognized property name or invalid value makes property application
% stop. All inputs are passed to ex71_OpeningFcn via varargin.
%
% *See GUI Options on GUIDE's Tools menu. Choose "GUI allows only one
% instance to run (singleton)".
%
% See also: GUIDE, GUIDATA, GUIHANDLES

这个pi 的值又怎么确定，是任意数吗？

这个pi 的值又怎么确定，是任意数吗？

pi = 3.1415926......

maltab内置的一个常量。
