## 2.1 Basic Commands

### 2.1.1 Variable Operation Commands

In MATLAB, variables are used to store data. Variable operation commands are used to create, assign, and manipulate variables.

***assign**: Assigns a value to a variable. Syntax: `var = value`
***clear**: Clears variables. Syntax: `clear var1 var2 ...`
***exist**: Checks if a variable exists. Syntax: `exist('var')`
***who**: Lists all variables in the current workspace. Syntax: `who`
***whos**: Lists all variables in the current workspace with detailed information. Syntax: `whos`
