Core Concepts
Lists and Items
Most operations involve the manipulation of lists. A list is a sequence of one or more items, where an item is one or more scalars. Lists and items are not new data structures - they are a conceptual view of existing data structures that simplifies data representation and manipulation, in some cases at least (more on this later).
Items are Matlab row vectors, for example:
item1 = [1 2 3]; % item of three scalars
item2 = 1; % item of one scalarand lists are vertical concatenation of items:
list1 = [1 2 3; 4 5 6]; % list of 2 items, each of three scalars
list2 = [1; 2; 3]; % list of 3 items, each of one scalarNote that items in the same list must contain the same number of scalars by definition.
