whats the syntax of i++ in matlab

I have been looking for this and surprisingly couldnt find an answer

is there a shortcut statement that would do what C code "i++" would do? (that is to increase i by 1) ofc ourse i dont mean the obvious i=i+1

thanks

No, not even i+=1. We see proposals going in that direction in various which-lists, but nothing was implemented so far. What would be also great would be to be able to index the first output argument of functions and to call methods when these are objects. I am wondering though if it is not a deliberate choice to keep "things" more explicit, as no syntax shortcut internally spares memory or brings more efficiency.

really? this is so surprising. i just had some variables with long names and was lazy with the ctrl+c, ctrl+v. thought im missing somehting. thanks

It also seems that TMW cares a lot for backward compatibility, because there haven't been a lot of syntax updates which broke it over the past 15-20 years.
