Scalar Literals
The following example statements 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-hand side. Notice that you do not need to use braces when there is only one element.
a=12;
a=. ;
a='hi there';
a="Hello";
