MATLAB Terms

This document provides information about various Matlab commands and concepts. Matlab stands for Matrix Laboratory (% is the comment symbol). Predefined variables do not include Gravity. The Clear command clears variables from memory. Character values are represented by their ASCII values. Delayed copy is used to manage memory in Matlab. The \n escape character prints a newline. The continue keyword moves to the next loop iteration. syms defines symbolic variables. v(1) accesses the first element of vector v. == compares elements for equality. Size returns the number of rows and columns of a matrix. isnumeric(32) returns 1. sprintf saves a formatted string without printing. %g is the default number format in fprintf.
