Question

If the command, given as an input to the system command, gets executed, MATLAB returns a _________

(a) 0

(b) 1

(c) True

(d) False

This question was addressed to me during an interview.

My doubt stems from System Commands topic in section Advanced Software Development of MATLAB

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) 0

The best explanation: This the default return value of the system command. It will return a 0 if the command gets successfully executed. If not, it’ll return 1 and hence, only MATLAB will only return a 0.
