No.  Read it again, and read the doc for surf, there is an example in the documentation.  Copy and paste the example, then look at the output from whos.

I'm surprised by the lack of empathy in these replies.  Isn't this a help forum?  Why scan and post answers to threads asking for help, but make the asker feel like an idiot with replies like "READ IT" or "amazingly, just what it says!"??   Clearly MATLAB isn't as easy as you make it out to be if there's a site devoted to answering questions about the product!!!

It's unfortunate if you both were made to feel inferior during your formative education if you asked a question someone else perceived as remedial.  But get over it and show others who know less some courtesy.
