      MATLAB file names follow the same rules as variable names:

      • MATLAB file names must start with a letter.
      • The rest of the name can be letters, numbers or the underscore symbol.
      • The letters can be upper or lower case.
      • No spaces are allowed.
      • No special characters are allowed, except for an underscore.

      These are valid file names:

      • BrickVolume.m
      • My_1st_file.m
      • clever_File_123.m

      These are not valid file names:

      These videos show how to create scripts (m-files) in MATLAB and in Octave.

      (This also mentions how to create "Live Editor" .mlx files. For most of the assignments in this course, that is more advanced than we need.)
