Example 1
27-48
ans =
-21
Example 2
x=7
x =
y=9
y =
x+y
ans =
16
Here I assigned values to two variables and then added the variables.

Example 3
x/7
ans =
Here I used a variable and an integer, the variable is treated as any integer, just being called
upon by a different name (in this case x).
Example 4
x =
y =
ans =
24
ans =
27
ans =

Here I asked for multiple calculations in one command line, using commas to separate the
different tasks.
Example 5
x =
y =
ans
ans =
who
ans x y
Here I used the who command to check what my variables were after entering 3 different
variables x, y, and ans.
Example 6
ans =
3.1416

MATH 2373, Section 011
5+pi
ans =
8.1416
Here I used the % to enter a comment that wasn’t included in the prompt. Pi was displayed as
3.1416, but the comment after the % was ignored.
Example 7
sqrt(-9)
ans =
0.0000 + 3.0000i
Here I took the square root of a negative number, showing that matlab can work with imaginary
numbers.
