How do you initialize an N*M matrix?

From the MATLAB help, it says to use:
M = matrix(N, M)
but when I apply this it says that the function 'matrix' is not recognized.
Undefined function 'matrix' for input arguments of type 'double'.
Error in experimental (line 1)
M = matrix(3,3)

To initialize an N-by-M matrix, use the “zeros” function. For example, create a 3-by-5 matrix of zeros:
A = zeros(3,5);
You can then later assign specific values to the elements of “A”.

Can you please show me how to assign value to A after initialize the N x M matrix? For example i need to create a vector 5 x 5 and with values x = 20 35 49 64 23

I am assuming you are trying to create an empty matrix of zeros of dimensions N*M. You can try the following instead
M = zeros(3,3)
This creates a matrix of zeros of size 3*3.

Oh. Thanks Isakson. I will update my answer. My MATLAB did not have symbolic Math toolbox.

This should make the trick
M = double.empty(N,M,0);
