If you have a matrix d=[1 2 3 4; 5 6 7 8 9; 10 11 12 13]; what is the meaning of d(1 2) and d([1 2])
Thank you.

In MATLAB, the matrix cannot have a different number of elements in a row, so I have modified matrix d as follow
d = [1 2 3 4; 5 6 7 8; 10 11 12 13]
For your question, d(1 2) is invalid in MATLAB. I guess you meant d(1,2), which means access the element in 1st row and 2nd column of matrix 'd'. If you print matrix 'd', you will get
>> d
d =
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
10 11 12 13
and
>> d(1,2)
ans =
2 % element in 1st row and 2nd column
The syntax d([1 2]) uses linear indexing. Read about linear indexing here: https://www.mathworks.com/company/newsletters/articles/matrix-indexing-in-matlab.html. Espically refer to the image after the line "Here are the elements of the matrix A along with their linear indices".

Firstly, d is an invalid matrix because it must have consistent dimensions. The second row has 5 elements whereas the rest have 4.
Information on array indexing is here: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/math/array-indexing.html
d(1 2) is an invalid expression.
d(1, 2) is the element in the row 1, column 2.
d([1, 2]) returns 2 elements. The elements in positions (1,1) and (2,1). You can access matrix elements both my specifying their row & col numbers (like your first example), but also by just providing a linear index value.

Melin,
The matrix d has an error in it, because the 2nd row has more columns than the 1st and 3rd row. But, supposed we use d = [1,2,3,4; 5,6,7,8; 9,10,11,12]. In this matrix, d(1,2) will refer to row=1, col=2, and so will have the value d(1,2)=2. The notation d(1 2) does not have any meaning in Matlab. The notation d([1 2]), however, is more interesting. It refers to the elements d(1) and d(2). Although d is a 2D matrix, you can also address its elements with a 1-dimensional index, and in this case the elements are numbered from top to bottom of each column, from the first column to the last. In the case of matrix d, we have d(1)=1, d(2)=5, d(3)= 9, d(4)=2, and so on until we get to d(12)=12. So, d([1 2]) = [d(1) d(2)] = [1 2]. Likewise, if we wrote d([7 9 11]) or d([7,9.11]) it would mean [d(7), d(9), d(11)] = [3, 11, 8].
