    MATLAB is a programming language for technical computing. It allows users to perform computations, create visualizations, and write programs using familiar mathematical notation. The MATLAB desktop provides tools like the Command Window to run commands and view outputs, a Workspace to see defined variables, and an Editor/Debugger Window to write and debug M-files or programs. Basic MATLAB commands include clear to remove variables, clc to clear the Command Window, help for accessing documentation, and edit to open M-files in the editor. Semicolons after commands suppress output display and variables like ans store results without an assigned variable name.

    Introduction to MATLAB

    1-1 Introduction

    MATLAB is a high-performance language for technical computing. It integrates


    computation, visualization, and programming in an easy-to-use environment where problems
    and solutions are expressed in familiar mathematical notation.
    The name MATLAB stands for matrix laboratory. MATLAB was originally written to
    provide easy access to matrix.

    1-1-1 Starting and Quitting MATLAB

     To start MATLAB, double-click the MATLAB shortcut icon on your Windows


    desktop. You will know MALTAB is running when you see the special
    " >> " prompt in the MATLAB Command Window.

     To end your MATLAB session, select Exit MATLAB from the File menu in the
    desktop, or type quit (or exit) in the Command Window, or with easy way by
    click on close button in control box.

    1-1-2 Desktop Tools

    1- Command Window: Use the Command Window to enter variables and run
    functions and M-files.
    2- Command History: Statements you enter in the Command Window are logged in
    the Command History. In the Command History, you can view previously run
    statements, and copy and execute selected statements.
    3- Current Directory Browser: MATLAB file operations use the current directory
    reference point. Any file you want to run must be in the current directory or on the
    search path.
    4- Workspace: The MATLAB workspace consists of the set of variables (named
    arrays) built up during a MATLAB session and stored in memory.

    5- Editor/Debugger Window: Use the Editor/Debugger to create and debug M-files.

    Experiment No. (1) Introduction to MATLAB
    1-2 Basic Commands

     clear Command: Removes all variables from workspace.


     clc Command: Clears the Command window and homes the cursor.
     help Command: help <Topic> displays help about that Topic if it
    exist.
     edit Command: enable you to edit (open) any M-file in Editor Window. This
    command doesn’t open built-in function like, sqrt. See also type Command.

    Notes:

     A semicolon " ; " at the end of a MATLAB statement suppresses printing of results.
     If a statement does not fit on one line, use " . . . ", followed by Enter to indicate that
    the statement continues on the next line. For example:

    >> S= sqrt (225)*30 /...


    (20*sqrt (100)
     If we don’t specify an output variable, MATLAB uses the variable ans (short for
    answer), to store the last results of a calculation.
     Use Up arrow and Down arrow to edit previous commands you entered in
    Command Window.
     Insert " % " before the statement that you want to use it as comment; the statement
    will appear in green color.

    Experiment No. Introduction to

    Now Try to do the following:

    >> a=3

    >> a=3; can you see the effect of semicolon " ; "

    >> a+5 assign the sum of a and 5 to ans

    >> b=a+5 assign the sum of a and 5 to b

    >> clear a

    >> a can you see the effect of clear command

    >> clc clean the screen

    >> b

    Exercises

    1- Use edit command to edit the dct function, then try to edit sin function. State the
    difference.

    2- Use help command to get help about rand function.

    3- Enter a=3; b=5; c=7, then clear the variable b only
