Basic syntax

A newline or semicolon separates statements. A trailing semicolon suppresses implicit output; disp always writes through the host.

% Comments begin with percent
answer = 6 * 7;
message = "hello";
disp(answer);

• Numbers use f64 semantics.
• true and false are distinct booleans but convert to 0 and 1 in numeric contexts.
• Both single- and double-quoted strings are accepted.
• Matrices contain numeric values and use [columns; rows] syntax.

Conditionals, loops, selection, exception handlers, and functions close with end. Headers end with a newline or semicolon.
