In this movie, I will show you how to create those ranges in your script. I have started MATLAB, and I'm using a blank command window.

I'll assign them to variable A, and I'll say it equals three colon seven, and when I press enter, you'll see that MATLAB creates the values three, four, five, six and seven, and if you're using the default installation for MATLAB, then you probably have the workspace at the bottom left corner and you can see that variable A is a one by five, which means a one row, five column array.
