octave
Operate on each element of a vector
values = [6, 7, 2, 8, 5, 4, 2, 9].*2
Create vector from range
values = 5:10
Plot discrete values (returns handle)
H = bar(values)
Create vector/matrix with zeros
x = zeros(1, 5)
Loops
for i in [1, 3, 6]
i
end
Cell Arrays - mixed data types; for example with strings
x = {'a', 'b', 'c'}
