Discover how to access array elements using a single index in this comprehensive MATLAB tutorial on linear indexing. In this step-by-step guide, we'll explore how MATLAB stores the elements of an array in computer memory in column-major layout (or column-major order). You'll learn about MATLAB's one-based indexing. Discover how to use the keyword end to access the last element in an array. You'll also learn to access more than one element using a vector or the colon operator as the index. Together we'll explore the practical benefits of linear indexing.
