Can we add a statement in between the codes?

Is it possible to add statements in between the codes. For example: If I have a code like this,

r(:,1) = a(:,1) - a(:,2);

Then can I write it as,

r(:,1) = a(:,1)("this is a constant") - a(:,2)("this is a variable");

Nyet, no such syntax exists.

About the closest you can get is something like

r = a  - ... % this is a constant
    b;       % this is a variable

BTW: in Matlab the single quote is used for character constants, not the apostrophe.

See the Getting Started section in the doc on the basic syntax

doc punct  % will get you to the special punctuation including %

Well I just used that as an example.

Anyway thanks for your help.
