 The command line allows the user to enter commands and inspect returned values (text output intermixed with input). Matlab shows a prompt (**''<​nowiki>>></​nowiki>''​**) during normal operation and an extended prompt for debugging (**''<​nowiki>​K>></​nowiki>''​**).

Matlab shows a prompt (**''<​nowiki>>></​nowiki>''​**) during normal operation and an extended prompt for debugging (**''<​nowiki>​K>></​nowiki>''​**). The command line offers a few additional functions which are extremely helpful:
   * pressing the **''​cursor-up''​** key allows to cycle through previous commands, and if some text is entered before, only entries matching this text are presented   * pressing the **''​cursor-up''​** key allows to cycle through previous commands, and if some text is entered before, only entries matching this text are presented
-  * the **''​tab''​**-key does not produce a tab-character (indentation) but instead Matlab attempts to auto-complete a series of letters to a "known expression"​ (variable, field, ​or function name)+  * the **''​tab''​**-key does not produce a tab-character (indentation) but instead Matlab attempts to auto-complete a series of letters to a "known expression"​ (variable, field, function, or file name, depending on context)
   * when entering expressions with parenthesis (precedence of operations, function arguments, etc.) or brackets/​curly braces, Matlab highlights matching pairs to confirm the completeness of the expression   * when entering expressions with parenthesis (precedence of operations, function arguments, etc.) or brackets/​curly braces, Matlab highlights matching pairs to confirm the completeness of the expression
   * if an expression is incomplete (e.g. a **''​for''​** loop is constructed,​ but the final **''​end''​** keyword is missing), Matlab expects additional input on the next line (after pressing return)   * if an expression is incomplete (e.g. a **''​for''​** loop is constructed,​ but the final **''​end''​** keyword is missing), Matlab expects additional input on the next line (after pressing return)
