Working with M-Files
MATLAB provides a full programming language that enables you to write a series of MATLAB statements into a file and then execute them with a single command. You write your program in an ordinary text file, giving the file a name of filename.m
. The term you use for filename
becomes the new command that MATLAB associates with the program. The file extension of .m
makes this a MATLAB M-file.
Types of M-Files
M-files can be scripts that simply execute a series of MATLAB statements, or they can be functions that also accept input arguments and produce output.
