Naming rules
The first letter of the filename must be English.
SPACE is not allowed to use.

Naming Variables
MATLAB variable names must begin with a letter, which may be
followed by any combination of letters, digits, and underscores.
MATLAB distinguishes between uppercase and lowercase
characters, so A and a are not the same variable.
Avoid Using Function Names for Variables
To test whether a proposed variable name is already used as a
function name, use
which -all variable_name
Special Values
Function Return Value
ans
Most recent answer (variable). If you do not assign an output variable to an expression,
MATLAB automatically stores the result in ans.
eps
Floating-point relative accuracy. This is the tolerance MATLAB uses in its
calculations.
intmax Largest 8-, 16-, 32-, or 64-bit integer your computer can represent.
intmin Smallest 8-, 16-, 32-, or 64-bit integer your computer can represent.
realmax Largest floating-point number your computer can represent.
realmin Smallest positive floating-point number your computer can represent.
pi 3.1415926535897...
i, j Imaginary unit.
inf Infinity. Calculations like n/0, where n is any nonzero real value, result in inf.
NaN
Not a Number, an invalid numeric value. Expressions like 0/0 and inf/inf result in a
NaN, as do arithmetic operations involving a NaN.
version MATLAB version string.
Several functions return important special values that you can
use in your M-files.

Example
Subplot function
Syntax
Subplot(m,n,p)
Matlab code
x = -10:0.1:10;
y = x.^2 ;

subplot(2,2,1),plot(x,sin(x))
subplot(2,2,2),plot(x,y,'--')
subplot(2,2,3),plot(-x)
subplot(2,2,4)
subplot(2,2,1),plot(x,sin(x))
subplot(2,2,2),plot(x,y,'--')
subplot(2,2,3),plot(-x)
subplot(2,2,4)
