% first test - variable assignment
h = 10;
h = h+1;
% runs from top to bottom; wouldn't be able to switch (variable undefined)
% don't have to assign data type; still need to define variable (value)
% semicolon prevents display/printing of line of code
% basic operations / displaying
a = 2;
b = 3;
sum = a + b;
disp("the sum is: " + sum)
the sum is: 5
%second test - variable assignment
p = 3;
q = 4;
r = (p^2 + q^2)^0.5;
% underline = when smnthg may be wrong / off -> r is used twice
% reassigning values
% since r is NOT a function (it's an assignment) so MatLab will not update
p = 6;
q = 8;
%to update values, retype equation
r = (p^2 +q^2)^0.5
r = 10
% bonus points for organized code (aka add commments) !!!!
% INBUILT FUNCTIONS %
x = 3; y = 4;
% if using semicolons, can keep code on same line
c = sqrt(x^2 + y^2)
c = 5
% sqrt = function name (built into MatLab) - see lecture day 2 notes
% cubed root of 27
d = nthroot(27, 3)
d = 3
