What command allows you to execute a script in MATLAB?

In MATLAB, executing a script can be done effectively by typing the name of the script without the .m extension in the command window. This method allows MATLAB to recognize and run the script directly. When you invoke the script this way, MATLAB treats it just like a function call, executing all the commands and functions contained within that script.

This approach is commonly used for its simplicity, enabling users to quickly run scripts without additional commands or interface elements. It’s important to ensure that the script is saved and in the current directory or in a directory that is on the MATLAB path for successful execution.

Using the other possible methods, while they are valid, does not represent the most straightforward way to execute a script from the command window itself, which is why typing the name directly is considered a fundamental practice in MATLAB scripting.
