Jitse Niesen ( talk) 15:59, 2 January 2009 (UTC) Reply If you read the link you provided, you will see that so called "compiled" m-files are completely dependent on the Matlab runtime, which must be either packaged with the executable or downloaded before execution. Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.10.240.41 ( talk) 04:11, 2 January 2009 (UTC) Reply Well, there is a compiler that allows one to run matlab code outside the matlab environment. Since matlab code can't be run independent of the MATLAB programming, I am 99% sure that it is a scripting language, and NOT a programming language. Dicklyon ( talk) 06:34, 28 November 2008 (UTC) Reply You can find a bit of history in a blog post by Steve Eddins (a developer at MathWorks): Data Types. The programs it was based on were much older, but I think still used the same numeric format, more or less (but before IEEE standard floating point, not all 64-bit floats were alike). Does anyone remember or even better know a source for this information? User:Nillerdk ( talk) 10:15, 16 November 2008 (UTC) Reply 64-bit "double-precision" floats have been common on computers for a long time, and as far as I can recall, that's what Matlab always had I started using it around 1990. What was it in the early days of MATLAB? Matlab appeared first on computers on which the standard allocation unit was the byte (8 bit) and I guess 64 bit precision was not possible back then. I have been unable to find information about the historical development of the default data type. Today the default data type in Matlab is the 64-bit double-precision floating point (complex numbers need two times 64 bit).

I do not mind contributing, but I prefer to do it on topics which I am knowledgable about, and secondarily I have reservations at contributing here, as my written English is unworthy en.wikipedia. I did the same search and found my answers. Dicklyon ( talk) 15:41, 4 March 2008 (UTC) Reply Thank you for responding. Add the info the article if you think like. Slaunger ( talk) 12:34, 4 March 2008 (UTC) Reply A quick search for matlab meshgrid or matlab eps would find you what you need. How about reporting? All in all I miss some more information about the possibilities rather than the limitations. Can I interface with external code and examples of how to do that. I miss some more advanced examples - like with built-in special functions (if it has some?) how can one handle I/O. Similarly in the 2D sinc example, where we encounter "meshgrid" again, and also other new notation such as ".^" and "eps". Thus, I do not really understand that example. This is done consistently until we get to the magic square M example, where we encounter the lineīut the meaning of "meshgrid" is not explained. I like the beginning of the syntax section (which is also an example section) as it is self-contained in explaining the examples. My use case is that I do not know MATLAB but want to get an impression as input to the selction of a numerical tool for a project.
