can anyone tell me the significance of having the apostrophe ' after a line of code? something like this: x = linspace(0,100,100)'; What is the difference between having that and leaving it out? I can't tell, so any help would be great!
Hi Siddhartha,The apostrophe is the transpose operator. What it does in the above line is that it turns the row vector into a column vector. If you use single number indexing ("x(2)") and are going to iterate through the x vector, it may not matter which you use. If you use two number indexing ("x(2,1)") or if you are going to use it for some linear algebra operations, then there is a difference between the two.
Have a good day, Bill
