Variables
• Don’t have to declare type
• Don’t even have to initialise
• Just assign in command window
>>
>> a=12; % variable a is assigned 12

Matlab comment

Variables (continued …)
• View variable contents by simply typing the
variable name at the command prompt

The : operator
• VERY important operator in Matlab
• Means ‘to’
