Test Simple Commands:
Try a few simple commands to get started:

% Plot a simple graph
plot(1:10, (1:10).^2);
title('Simple Plot');
xlabel('X-axis');
ylabel('Y-axis');

% Basic arithmetic operations
a = 5;
b = 10;
c = a + b;
disp(['The sum of ', num2str(a), ' and ', num2str(b), ' is ', num2str(c)]);

% Matrix operations
A = [1 2; 3 4];
B = [5 6; 7 8];
C = A * B;
disp('Matrix multiplication result:');
disp(C);

% Solving a system of linear equations
A = [3 -9; -4 7];
b = [2; 3];
x = A \ b;
disp('Solution to the system of equations:');
disp(x);
