Document Summary

In a 64-bit pc, integers and floating-point numbers are represented a using 64- bits (that is, 8 bytes) each. Characters are represented in matlab using 16 bits (2 bytes) each. Str is a 1-d array of char"s, of dimension 1x22, that occupies 44 bytes of memory. Ascii: was designed in 1963, recently, acsii is being replaced by multilingual codes, such as the. Mathlab uses 16-bit character codes that allow it to support a unicode. The ischar() function can be used to test for the presence of a scalar char or an array of char"s. The char() built-in function will automatically insert the necessary padding (using space characters) Deblank() removes all whitespaces characters from the end of the string. Strtrim()-removes all leading and trailing whitespaces characters from a string. Strcat()- can be used to join two (or more) strings together.
