MATLAB (an abbreviation of "MATrix LABoratory"[22]) is a proprietary multi-paradigm programming language and numeric computing environment developed by MathWorks. MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages.

Although MATLAB is intended primarily for numeric computing, an optional toolbox uses the MuPAD symbolic engine allowing access to symbolic computing abilities. An additional package, Simulink, adds graphical multi-domain simulation and model-based design for dynamic and embedded systems.

As of 2020[update], MATLAB has more than four million users worldwide.[23] They come from various backgrounds of engineering, science, and economics. As of 2017[update], more than 5000 global colleges and universities use MATLAB to support instruction and research.[24]

MATLAB was invented by mathematician and computer programmer Cleve Moler.[25] The idea for MATLAB was based on his 1960s PhD thesis.[25] Moler became a math professor at the University of New Mexico and started developing MATLAB for his students[25] as a hobby.[26] He developed MATLAB's initial linear algebra programming in 1967 with his one-time thesis advisor, George Forsythe.[25] This was followed by Fortran code for linear equations in 1971.[25]

In the 1980s, Cleve Moler met John N. Little. They decided to reprogram MATLAB in C and market it for the IBM desktops that were replacing mainframe computers at the time.[25] John Little and programmer Steve Bangert re-programmed MATLAB in C, created the MATLAB programming language, and developed features for toolboxes.[26]

MATLAB was first released as a commercial product in 1984 at the Automatic Control Conference in Las Vegas.[25][26] MathWorks, Inc. was founded to develop the software[30] and the MATLAB programming language was released.[28] The first MATLAB sale was the following year, when Nick Trefethen from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology bought ten copies.[26][33]

By the end of the 1980s, several hundred copies of MATLAB had been sold to universities for student use.[26] The software was popularized largely thanks to toolboxes created by experts in various fields for performing specialized mathematical tasks.[29] Many of the toolboxes were developed as a result of Stanford students that used MATLAB in academia, then brought the software with them to the private sector.[26]

Over time, MATLAB was re-written for early operating systems created by Digital Equipment Corporation, VAX, Sun Microsystems, and for Unix PCs.[26][28] Version 3 was released in 1987.[34] The first MATLAB compiler was developed by Stephen C. Johnson in the 1990s.[28]

In 2000, MathWorks added a Fortran-based library for linear algebra in MATLAB 6, replacing the software's original LINPACK and EISPACK subroutines that were in C.[28] MATLAB's Parallel Computing Toolbox was released at the 2004 Supercomputing Conference and support for graphics processing units (GPUs) was added to it in 2010.[28]

Some especially large changes to the software were made with version 8 in 2012.[35] The user interface was reworked[citation needed] and Simulink's functionality was expanded.[36] By 2016, MATLAB had introduced several technical and user interface improvements, including the MATLAB Live Editor notebook, and other features.[28]

The MATLAB application is built around the MATLAB programming language. Common usage of the MATLAB application involves using the "Command Window" as an interactive mathematical shell or executing text files containing MATLAB code.[37]

Variables are defined using the assignment operator, =. MATLAB is a weakly typed programming language because types are implicitly converted.[38] It is an inferred typed language because variables can be assigned without declaring their type, except if they are to be treated as symbolic objects,[39] and that their type can change. Values can come from constants, from computation involving values of other variables, or from the output of a function. For example:

Matrices can be defined by separating the elements of a row with blank space or comma and using a semicolon to separate the rows. The list of elements should be surrounded by square brackets []. Parentheses () are used to access elements and subarrays (they are also used to denote a function argument list).

MATLAB supports structure data types.[41] Since all variables in MATLAB are arrays, a more adequate name is "structure array", where each element of the array has the same field names. In addition, MATLAB supports dynamic field names[42] (field look-ups by name, field manipulations, etc.).

When creating a MATLAB function, the name of the file should match the name of the first function in the file. Valid function names begin with an alphabetic character, and can contain letters, numbers, or underscores. Variables and functions are case sensitive.[43]

MATLAB supports object-oriented programming including classes, inheritance, virtual dispatch, packages, pass-by-value semantics, and pass-by-reference semantics.[47] However, the syntax and calling conventions are significantly different from other languages. MATLAB has value classes and reference classes, depending on whether the class has handle as a super-class (for reference classes) or not (for value classes).[48]

MATLAB supports developing graphical user interface (GUI) applications.[49] UIs can be generated either programmatically or using visual design environments such as GUIDE and App Designer.[50][51]

MATLAB can call functions and subroutines written in the programming languages C or Fortran.[52] A wrapper function is created allowing MATLAB data types to be passed and returned. MEX files (MATLAB executables) are the dynamically loadable object files created by compiling such functions.[53][54] Since 2014 increasing two-way interfacing with Python was being added.[55][56]

Libraries written in Perl, Java, ActiveX or .NET can be directly called from MATLAB,[57][58] and many MATLAB libraries (for example XML or SQL support) are implemented as wrappers around Java or ActiveX libraries. Calling MATLAB from Java is more complicated, but can be done with a MATLAB toolbox[59] which is sold separately by MathWorks, or using an undocumented mechanism called JMI (Java-to-MATLAB Interface),[60][61] (which should not be confused with the unrelated Java Metadata Interface that is also called JMI). Official MATLAB API for Java was added in 2016.[62]

In 2020, MATLAB withdrew services from two Chinese universities as a result of US sanctions. The universities said this will be responded to by increased use of open-source alternatives and by developing domestic alternatives.[66]

Sorry if the answer maybe obvious but I need to know for sure, if you have had an experience with that. What if the Trial version ends, can I reinstall it but on a different machine or maybe request an extended trial for a couple of weeks?

Are all not included in the 95 USD Matlab home version and need to be purchased separately, each of which costs 29 USD. So, have anyone bought the home version with such toolboxes and rendered sufficient regarding the Snap2StaMPS software requirements? I only wanted a confirmation so that I can comfortably invest in this version without risking having a deficit version of the program for obvious reasons.
Thank you very much

BTW, in this case, the reason I want this check is to know that I can use the function matlab.lang.makeUniqueStrings. If there were a robust, supported way to check for the availability of this function, I'd use it instead of testing that the current MATLAB is recent enough. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be such a check: exist returns false to every variant I can come up for the name of this function. Again, I can think of fragile hacks to mimic a proper test (e.g. which('matlab.lang.makeUniqueStrings')), but they're hardly better than the version-testing hacks I alluded to above.

The best solution I have found is to run the command using matlab.lang.makeUniqueStrings within a try-catch block. This is still a fragile hack, because MATLAB does not offer a robust, built-in way to catch specific exceptions!

IOW, it's all about choosing the least awful hack. Testing that the current version is recent enough (even if this test is a fragile hack) at least has the virtue of being general enough to stick in some function, and at least contain the proliferation of fragile, hacky code.

If you only need to care about fairly recent versions, use the verLessThan command. However, verLessThan was introduced in about 2006a or so; if you need to support versions older than that, you will need to use the output of the version command.

Alternatively, you can robustly test for the existence of matlab.lang.makeUniqueStrings. Firstly, use m = meta.package.fromName('matlab.lang') to retrieve a meta.package object referring to the package. If m is empty, the package does not exist. Assuming m is not empty, check the FunctionList property of m to see whether makeUniqueStrings is present. (There's also a ClassList property as well).

Finally, MATLAB does offer a way to catch specific exceptions. Instead of a simple catch, use catch myError. The variable myError will be an object of type MException, available within the catch block. You can test the identifier and message properties of the exception, and handle different exceptions appropriately, including rethrowing unhandled ones.

What will happen if one of the features you need is removed from a future version of Matlab? Or the way it works changes? (this is far more common than one would expect). Or if someone wants to use your code in a Matlab compatible system that does have the features your code requires?

I had the same error when running executables from matlab's system() function. The executable was dependent on a different libstdc++ than matlab had available. For both matlab R2022a and R2022b on Ubuntu 22.04, I simply linked matlab's shortcut to the system's libc++ rather than the one that ships with matlab. Perhaps this is an edge case that doesn't match the OP's from years ago, but it's one I've run into with each version of matlab and had to fix multiple times, each time leading me to this Q&A.
