MATLAB Compiler

Before You Begin

Before reading this book, you should already be comfortable writing M-files. If you are not, see Programming in the MATLAB documentation.

It is useful to note the distinction between the MATLAB Compiler and the MATLAB interpreter. The MATLAB interpreter refers to the application that accepts MATLAB commands, executes M-files and MEX-files, and behaves as described in the MATLAB documentation. When you use MATLAB, you are using the MATLAB interpreter. The MATLAB Compiler refers to this product, which takes M-files as input and generates stand-alone applications or software components. The MATLAB Compiler is invoked with the mcc command.

Note    This book distinguishes references to the MATLAB Compiler by using the word "Compiler" with a capital C. References to "compiler" with a lowercase c refer to your C or C++ compiler.
