2.11) Using MATLAB As A Calculator

Matlab can be used simply as a scientific calculator. At the command prompt you can enter calculations for Matlab to solve. For example:

[matlab]
>> 16/12*4
ans=5.3333
>> sin(45*180/pi)
ans=0.8061
>> 4*4+3
ans=19
=(4*4)+3
>> 4 + 6 + 10 + 6/2
ans=23
>> (4 + 6 + 10 + 6) /2
ans=13
>> 16/(12*4)
ans=0.3333
>> 3^3*2+1
ans=55
>>3^(3*2+1)
ans=729
