    If you call plot with a vector as an argument, MATLAB plots the indices on the x-axis and the elements on the y-axis. To plot the Fibonacci numbers we computed in Listing 4.1, we’d use

    plot(F)

    Figure 4.1 shows the result.

    This way of looking at a vector is often useful for debugging, especially if it is big enough that displaying the elements on the screen is unwieldy.
