Data Structures The most basic data structure in MATLAB is the matrix MATLAB uses these two-dimensional matrices to store single numbers and linear series of numbers as well. In these cases, the dimensions are 1-by-1 and 1-by-n respectively, where n is the length of the numeric series MATLAB also supports data structures that have more than two dimensions These data elements can be numbers characters logical states of true or false, or even other MATLAB structure typesData Structures MATLAB uses these two-dimensional matrices to store single numbers and linear series of numbers as well. In these cases, the dimensions are 1-by-1 and 1-by-n respectively, where n is the length of the numeric series. The most basic data structure in MATLAB® is the matrix. These data elements can be numbers, characters, logical states of true or false, or even other MATLAB structure types. MATLAB also supports data structures that have more than two dimensions
