%% Text and Characters
% When you are working with text, enclose sequences of characters in single quotes. You can assign text to a variable.

myText = 'Hello, world';

%
% If the text includes a single quote, use two single quotes within the definition.

otherText = 'You''re right'

%
% myText and otherText are arrays, like all MATLAB® variables. Their class or data type is char, which is short for character.

whos myText

%
% You can concatenate character arrays with square brackets, just as you concatenate numeric arrays.

longText = [myText,' - ',otherText]

%
% To convert numeric values to characters, use functions, such as num2str or int2str.

f = 71;
c = (f-32)/1.8;
tempText = ['Temperature is ',num2str(c),'C']
