Working in Command Window of MATLAB

Working in command window Runtime results Working in

command window is useful for simple problems

However,

Work is not saved for later use.

Not easy to make changes.


NOTE:
1- For Programing in MATLAB ‘Editor
window’ is use to write and save the
program.

2- File is save as filename.m therefore


called as m-files
m-file in MATLAB
-> The extension of MATLAB files is .m therefore called as m-

files -> ‘Editor Window’ is use to create the m-files.

-> by default m-files are saved in current working directory. -> Like any

other computer files, m-files can be open/edit/save at anytime. -> To


execute m-file

Practical demonstration

Creat m-file save m-file Edit m-file.


Commands for managing the Work Session
clc Clear the command window
