Basic Screen Layout
When you first open up matlab it should look something like this.
If your screen doesn’t look like this you can click on the layout button indicated by the fancy arrow and select the default layout.
Using the default layout there are four different windows to work with:
Current Folder, Details, Command Window, Workspace.
The Current Folder windows displays all of the Matlab files that are in the folder Matlab is currently working in. The Details window will tell you details of a specific file. The Workspace window will list all of the variables the user is currently working with. The Command Window is where the user can input code.
In order to get a basic understanding of the command window you can think of it as a calculator. Type in 2*3 in the command window and hit enter. Matlab will output the result, 6.
