Create two 6by6 matrices, a and b, and locate those elements of a that are not equal to the corresponding elements of b. In addition, functions avoid storing temporary variables in the base workspace and can run faster than scripts.
Matlab has dozens of functions that create different kinds of matrices. Functions operate on variables within their own workspace, which is also called the local workspace, separate from the workspace you access at the matlab command. The next few examples work through this set of commands and a couple more arithmetic operations. Compute the pdf of 1 through 5 in the continuous uniform distribution on the interval 2,4.
