Every Value in MATLAB Has A Sense of True/falseness

This document discusses MATLAB operators and order of operations. It defines various MATLAB operators such as <, <=, >, >=, ==, ~= for comparisons. It explains that equality comparisons must be exact due to potential rounding errors with decimals. Logical operators like &&, ||, and xor are presented along with their truth tables. The order of precedence for operators is described, with comparisons having the lowest precedence. Examples demonstrating operator precedence are provided.

Technically there is a difference between and (&&) and and (&) but it doesnt
really apply in any situation. Same with ||
Xor = exclusive
- Since A and B are both true, Xor(A,B) is false. Neither are false - it asks if
A OR B is true.
- Xor( a>= 5, b <= -5); a = 6, b = -5
