The Magic Square Example

The example in this chapter shows you how to transform the MATLAB function magic into a deployable standalone application or shared library component.

The steps in this example vary, depending on if you want to deploy your MATLAB code as a standalone or as a shared library. If you are unsure about which target to select for your deployment, see When to Create a Standalone Application and When to Create a Shared Library

What Is a Magic Square?

A magic square is simply a square array of integers arranged so that their sum is the same when added vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.

How Do I Access the Examples?

The examples for MATLAB Compiler are in matlabroot\extern\examples\compiler. For matlabroot, substitute the MATLAB root folder on your system. Type matlabroot to see this folder name.

Note If you are using a non-Windows operating system, "console applications" are referred to as "standalone applications".
