    What Is the MATLAB Central Community?

    Learn how MATLAB Answers™, File Exchange, Cody™, and Blogs help MATLAB Central™ community members find answers to their technical questions, get code, practice their programming skills, and stay up to date on ways engineers and scientists around the world use MATLAB® and Simulink® to do their work.

    Hear directly from members of the MATLAB Central community as they explain how and why they use the different applications as well as the value they derive from engaging with and contributing back to the global community of MATLAB and Simulink users.

    MATLAB Central is a gathering place for the MATLAB and Simulink community. It's really driven by the community. If you're interested in a topic such as deep learning, AI, Internet of Things, you can learn about the topic because it's not just about MATLAB on MATLAB Central.

    People use answers in order to figure out how to do something in MATLAB, either to get other opinions on whether their approach is good, or to just say, hey, how do I do this. It's just a great way to get familiar with different techniques because even at the advanced level there are some people who just think in a slightly different way, they approach problems in a different way, so there can be multiple good ways of approaching a problem.

    File Exchange is a repository of MATLAB functions that are written by the community, simple functions that could be a few lines, to more robust, almost mini toolboxes.

    You can download the utility that someone else has written and modify it for your own needs, so you're not starting from scratch.

    Cody is a great resource. It's somewhat like an interactive textbook, where you can go on there and solve various problems of easy to moderate to very high difficulty level and really learn how the program works and how other people solve the same problem.

    The best way to study for any exam is to do more practice problems, and Cody is a great place to do that because they have a great range of problems relating to MATLAB. Another great thing about MATLAB Central is the blogs-- they showcase MATLAB in the real world. And students really want to see how MATLAB can help them after they graduate.

    I actually use MATLAB Central, essentially, every day.

    I just like it being there as my place to practice MATLAB and also reach out to the community and help them practice MATLAB.

    The point is to learn and to have fun doing it.
