Plot the Lorenz Attractor

Translate from English into Matlab:

Clear all variables Set your sigma parameter to 10 Set your beta parameter to 8/3 Set your p parameter to 28 Have x start at a random value between 10 and 10 Have y start at a random value between 10 and 10 Have z start at a random value between 10 and 10

Start a for loop where t goes from 1 to 5000 Update the value of x via its equation (scaling the change by .01) Update the value of y via its equation (scaling the change by .01) Update the value of z via its equation (scaling the change by .01) Save this new value of x in the tth element of allx Save this new value of y in the tth element of ally Save this new value of z in the tth element of allz

Bring the for loop to an end

Make a 3-D plot of allx, ally, and allz Rotate the view of this plot so that the azimuth and elevation show the Lorenz attractor in its full glory.
