Explain MATLAB code with ChatGPT

Illustrates code explication with ChatGPT.

Often code is insufficiently documented, and especially challenging for beginners/novices. ChatGPT is quite adept at explaining MATLAB code. This script grabs a simple MathWorks documentation example code and illustrates how to strip away comments to create or emulate poorly documented code. An image of ChatGPT's explanation of the commentless code is provided. One can generate commentless and commented code in ChatGPT. Screenshots illustrate the process.

This script might be useful to educators in creating coding and commenting challenges for students and may challenge users to consider how AI has changed how people will interact with code and documentation.

To use ChatGPT, interactively open a free account at OpenAI.com.
