MATLAB provides users with various ways to script. Some of these methods don't require users to write anything in the script. However, the recommendation is to use the conventional method to create a script for any application, which means you have to write that script. Refer to how to craft a script using MATLAB in the following Mytour article.
How to Craft a Script Using MATLAB
If your Mac computer hasn't been installed with MATLAB yet, you can refer to how to install MATLAB on Mac OS X
Step 1: Click on New Script from the menu on the Home tab.
On the screen, you'll see the Editor window appear. This window provides options for you to interact with scripts in various ways. The Editor tab is one of the most frequently used tabs when creating new scripts.
Step 2: Enter Hello World.
Text will be highlighted in light orange and underlined in red. When you hover over the italicized text, a message will appear on the screen.
In this scenario, you can overlook errors because what you need to see is the output. However, if you want to troubleshoot the issue, you can use semicolons or click on Fix to resolve the problem. MATLAB will notify you that you're doing something wrong, but sometimes MATLAB might be mistaken.
Step 3: Click on Run on the Editor tab in the Editor window to execute the script.
In the Save As dialog box, you'll see the Select File option. MATLAB will prompt users to save their script before running to ensure the script isn't lost, corrupted, or encountering errors while running.
Step 4: Create a folder, enter FirstScript.m into the File Name box, then click Save to create a script with Matlab and save the file.
MATLAB will save your script to the disk. All of your script files have the extension .m.
The MATLAB Editor dialog box no longer appears on the screen. If the dialog box is still visible, simply click on the Add to Path button on the dialog box to make it disappear. Then proceed to step 5.
Step 5: Select the MATLAB window.
You'll see the output of the script below:
>> FirstScript
ans =
Hello World
The output tells you that MATLAB ran FirstScript, which is the name of the file containing the script, and the output is Hello World. This output has been assigned to ans, the default variable.
