It is so easy.Don't you think?

Muhammad Tanveer on 21 Oct 2017

what is difference between 123456 and 1 2 3 4 5 6 vectors?

Mohamed Atyya on 30 Oct 2017

good

Christian Harman on 30 Nov 2017

Yeah, I personally like the colon operator for creating vectors!

Miklós Csécsi on 23 Sep 2018

@Muhammad Tanveer: if you take 123456 (without commas, semicolons or spaces), it is one (huge) number.

You can create a vector both by enclosing the elements in square brackets like v=[1 2 3 4 5] or using commas, like v=[1,2,3,4,5]. They mean the very same: a vector (matrix) of 1 row and 5 columns. It is up to you.

If you used a semicolon (;), then v=[1;2;3;4;5] means something else: a vector of 5 rows and one single column.

Great idea to learn colon notation! Thanks!

Jacob Farrell on 13 Apr 2019

cool

YIFEI ZHANG on 15 May 2019

Why did I copy the code to the matlab editor and run it but the command line window says I didn't define a function or variable?
