example of help for matlab function in matlab

To get help for a specific Matlab function, use the help command followed by the function’s name. For example, to get help for the sum function, type help sum in the Matlab command window. This will open up the function’s documentation with a description of the function, its inputs and outputs, and examples of how to use it.

Another way of accessing help documentation is by browsing the Matlab documentation by clicking on the Help tab in the main menu, and selecting “Documentation” from the drop-down menu. You can then search for the function’s name in the search bar, or navigate to the function by selecting the relevant toolbox and browsing through the list of functions.

Once you have access to the documentation for a function, you can also use the doc command followed by the function’s name to open up the documentation in the Help browser.

For example:

main.m
help sum
doc sum
17 chars
3 lines

These commands will provide detailed information about the "sum" MATLAB function.
