I agree with Guildenstern work the syntax !
(You won't have any debugger,parser to point out misssing/incorrect instruction/syntax.)

Kwowing the predefined Matlab types/function (As you see I'm not an expert) would help too...

Play a little bit with the tool to get used to it.
It's definitly more efficient than just reading the manual...
Learning by making mistake is one of the best way to remember and avoid them.

Last advice : if you could find a copy of this exam (from previous years) it could be a good thing to look at.(what is the english translation for the french word 'annales' ?)

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
