Constants and Test Matrices

Pi, Not-a-Number, infinity; Hadamard, companion, Pascal, and other specialized matrices

MATLAB® provides several constants, test matrices, and other named matrices as well as functions to examine array elements. You can use these constants, matrices, and functions to test your code and check if your computations return the intended results.
