Refer to matrix and vector elements

“

- [Instructor] You will frequently store MATLAB data in vectors and matrices. While in most cases you will refer to those vectors and matrices as a whole, you can also refer to individual elements within them. I'll show you how to do that in this movie. I have just started MATLAB and I am in a clear command window. If you're referencing a value in a vector, you can just do a linear reference to the position. So, for example, if I were to create a variable called vector one, vec1, equal, and then after a left square bracket, I would provide the range of values from eight to 14. So eight colon 14, followed by right square bracket and Enter, and I see my vector with all of those values. If I want to display the first value, I can type vec followed by a left parentheses, the number one, and then a right parentheses and Enter. Oh, I'm sorry, the variable name should've been vec1, so MATLAB suggested the replacement, so I'll press Enter, and I get the number eight, which is indeed the first…
