Cleaner Code in MATLAB, Part 1

Doug Hull, MathWorks

(Originally posted on Doug's MATLAB Video Tutorials blog.)

This week we will define a simple problem, show some awful code that happens to work, and then make the code better by breaking down a logic check to smaller, easier to understand statements.

PS. It was actually difficult to write code this bad. I ended up writing the code well and messing it up because I could not write such awful code that actually worked properly!

Part 2 This second video in the cleaner code series talks about magic numbers, and how to avoid them. It also covers naming conventions for function names and binary variables. Use of subfunctions is also shown.
