Scalar Literals

The following examples define scalars as literals. These are examples of simple assignment statements, with the matrix name on the left-hand side of the equal sign and the value on the right. Notice that you do not need to use braces when there is only one element. 

   a=12;
   a=. ;
   a='hi there';
   a="Hello";
