What are the functions in Scilab?

Functions are segments of code that have well defined input and output as well as local variables. The simplest way to define a function is by using the command `deff'. Scilab allows the creation of in-line functions and are especially useful when the body of the function is short.

How do you display a function in Scilab?

While programming we might need to display the values of our variables in the Scilab console for debug purposes or to output the final results of our script/algorithm. The best way to display the values of our variables is by using the “mprintf()” function. This function is very similar with the C code “printf()”.

What is %s in Scilab?

%s is the polynomial in the real cases by default, s = poly(0, "s") . This variable is used to create polynomials.

Do functions have arguments in Scilab?

Functions are Scilab objects (with type numbers 13 or 11). And they can be manipulated (built, saved, loaded, passed as arguments,...) as other variable types.
