Matlab/Scilab equivalent¶

Matlab Scilab

Particular cases¶

Character strings addition:
	In Scilab, string addition is the same as string concatenation, what is done in Matlab by strcat function. In Matlab, string addition is the equivalent of the addition of corresponding ASCII codes.

: :Empty matrix and addition: In Matlab, addition can only be made if: the operands have the same size unless one is a scalar. For exemple, empty matrices can only be added to another empty matrix or a scalar. Note that when you add a scalar and an empty matrix, Matlab result is always an empty matrix while in Scilab, result is equal to the scalar.
: :Unary plus: In Matlab, unary plus exists, but in Scilab it is: automatically deleted when compiling so we can consider that Scilab unary plus does not exist.
