Fundamental MATLAB Classes

There are many different data types, orclasses, that you can work with in the MATLAB^®software. You can build matrices and arrays of floating-point and integer data, characters and strings, and logicaltrueandfalsestates. Function handles connect your code with any MATLAB function regardless of the current scope. Tables, structures, and cell arrays provide a way to store dissimilar types of data in the same container.
