+ (Matlab operator)

Matlab/Scilab equivalent

+

Particular cases

Character strings addition:

In Scilab, string addition is the same as string concatenation, what is done in Matlab by strcat function. In Matlab, string addition is the equivalent of the addition of corresponding ASCII codes.

Empty matrix and addition:

In Matlab, addition can only be made if the operands have the same size unless one is a scalar. For exemple, empty matrices can only be added to another empty matrix or a scalar.

Unary plus:

In Matlab, unary plus exists, but in Scilab it is automatically deleted when compiling so we can consider that Scilab unary plus does not exist.

Examples

str = 'str1'+'str2'
str = [230,232,228,99]
str = strcat('str1','str2')
str = 'str1str2'
A = 1 + []
A = []

str = 'str1'+'str2'
str = 'str1str2'
str = strcat(['str1','str2'])
str = 'str1str2'
A = 1 + []
A = []
