## Questions from last class

When you execute the given function

my_function.m:

```matlab
function [x,y] = my_function(max_time)
N=100;
t=linspace(0,max_time,N);
x=t.^2;
y=2*t;
end
```

as

```>> [x,y] = my_function(20);```

What variables are saved to your workspace?

How do you write a help description for a function?

How do I use the Github Desktop?

whats your favorite football team?

Will UConn's github get updated to the newest version of github?
As u said in class trail and error is the best way of learning.

I believe the % is the same as matlab where it de-links your code into text

Does the @ symbol designate a pointer?

Given the change of air pressure as altitude increases, how fast would a frisbee have to travel (and spin) to hit an airplane?

What is a gui?


could you go over a nested for loop example

Can't seem to get this function to produce any graph and am not sure why

When are these google forms due?

how do I create a new function using Github on my desktop?

Can you explain the first question more in class?

What is the meaning of life?

Should I just know how or what these topics are or will we learn them in the future?
