2. Introduction
 This lecture we will do some practice on Basic
MATLAB Scripts.
 We will start with simple scripts and will discuss
some electrical engineering applications.
 More scripts including conditional statements will
be discussed in the next lecture.
 Please review lectures on basic input and output
commands.

time= input (‘Enter the time taken: ‘);
height=g*(time+(exp(-k*time)-1)/k)/k;

4. Script 2
% Program to calculate the BMI (body mass index)
% Input your Height and Weight
weight = input('Type your weight (kg): ');
height = input('Type your height (m): ');
bmi = weight / height^2;
% Display the BMI
fprintf('Your Body Mass Index is %fn", bmi);

5. Script 3
% Program to calculate Electricity bill.
w = input('Enter power of your device (in watts):
');
