In the early 1990s, to avoid eval and all of its quirks (if you don't know about this, DON'T look it up - it's totally discouraged), we recommended using feval for evaluating functions that might... read more >>

Benefits of Refactoring CodeI have seen a lot of code in my life, including code from many different people written for many different purposes, and in many different "styles". These styles range... read more >>

Today I'd like to welcome a guest blogger, Mike Croucher, who recently joined MathWorks as a Customer Success Engineer after a long career spent supporting academic computational research.Table of... read more >>

Recently I read a post about speeding up functions on Yair's blog. I'll take this opportunity, using Release 2020a, to use the updated profiler to investigate performance, particularly for the function feval.... read more >>

Today I'd like to introduce a guest blogger, Stephen Doe, who works for the MATLAB Documentation team here at MathWorks. In today's post, Stephen discusses how to take advantage of recent performance improvements when indexing into tables. The same approach applies to many different data types. While the release notes describe the performance improvements, in today's post Stephen also offers further advice based on a simple code example.... read more >>

We've worried over the years as we build more features into MATLAB, particularly when we new file types and data types, about making sure users are accessing the artifacts they intend to use.... read more >>

Today I'd like to introduce a guest blogger, Stephen Doe, who works for the MATLAB Documentation team here at MathWorks. In today's post, Stephen discusses how, and why, you might want to update your code to accept string arrays as inputs.... read more >>

I have, over time, changed when, where, and how I "clean up" my MATLAB session. You may want to update your strategy as well.... read more >>

Today I am going to talk a little about code development and appropriate hygiene that goes with it. Why? Well, have you ever ended up with a really sick feeling after spending hours on something, only to realize that it's been deleted? It's happened to me, but never again!... read more >>
