R2020a is upon us! Do you read the release notes? Today's guest blogger, Toshi Takeuchi, apparently does, and he would like to share some new tricks using one of the new features. He also discusses sharing your code as a MATLAB app, since it is not easy to collaborate with people directly these days.... read more >>

Working with text in MATLAB has evolved over time. Way back, text data was stored in double arrays with an internal flag to denote that it was meant to be text. We then transformed this representation so character arrays were their very own type. And I mentioned earlier that we introduced a string datatype to make working with text data more efficient and natural. Let me show you a little more.... read more >>

Sometimes people state that they like using MATLAB because it's easy to express their mathematical thoughts. Sometimes there's a follow-on that they then switch to another language for performance. While early in the history of MATLAB, that was sometimes beneficial, it is not so obvious these days. Let's take the example of implicit expansion (also here).... read more >>

For those Monty Python fans reading this post, check out the Argument Clinic. Recently both Sean and Jiro, twice! posted about the new arguments capability available for input argument checking. I wanted to show you some more about this great feature! I've also discussed argument checking over the years, including this post.... read more >>

Today I’d like to introduce a guest blogger, David Garrison, who is a MATLAB Product Manager here at MathWorks. Dave will talk about the new feature introduced in R2019b called Live Editor Tasks which allow you to complete steps in your workflow interactively from within the Live Editor.... read more >>

As Steve noted in a recent post, several of the functions that operate along specific dimensions have been updated to add some new functionality, for example the function sum. (I also think he missed a great opportunity for a cool blog post title, which is only partly why I am writing about it now :^) ). Please read his post!... read more >>
