numi = int32(num);

you can change the datatype of a variable
class(num)

this function can be used to see the data type of a variable
intmax and intmin

use these functions to get the max and min values a datatype can take
format

arguments: short;long;loose;compact

the short and long control the size of the answer returned

the loose and compact control the spacing between the command and expression

...

Matlab can be used

();^;*;/;\;+;functions

sqrt, cos , sin, tan, log, exp, atan

gamma, erf, besselj

user-defined functions
define

f(x) = x^2 + x + 1;

by f = inline('x^2 + x + 1', 'x') function of one variable

g = inline(’uˆ2 + vˆ2’, ’u’, ’v’) function of two variables
