-===== Indexing Variables =====
-Using the following matrices we will discuss how to index any variable. For demonstration purposes we will use a matrix since every variable in Matlab operates like a matrix.
-x = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9]
-y = [0 0 0; 1 1 1; 2 2 2]
-Indexing in Matlab doesn’t start with 0, rather 1. The method for indexing the very first element in matrix x is
-syntax    variable_name(row,column)
-x(1,1);
-Matlabe will return the value 1 since it is the first element in matrix x.
-It is possible to index a specific range in any matrix. Using the : symbol. Colon by itself will select every element in that row or column. If the colon is used between two integers this indicates a range between the two integers. Look at the following examples for better understanding.
-z = x[:,2]
-z will consists of all the rows in column 2. [2 ; 5 ; 8]
-z = x[1:2, 1:2]
-z will be a 2x2 matrix composed of [1 2 ; 4 5]
-For more information on the colon type “help :” in the command window.
