: Colon.
J:K is the same as [J, J+1, ..., J+m], where m = fix(K-J). In the
case where both J and K are integers, this is simply [J, J+1, ..., K].
This syntax returns an empty matrix if J > K.
J:I:K is the same as [J, J+I, ..., J+m*I], where m = fix((K-J)/I).
This syntax returns an empty matrix when I == 0, I > 0 and J > K, or
I < 0 and J < K.
COLON(J,K) is the same as J:K and COLON(J,I,K) is the same as J:I:K.
The colon notation can be used to pick out selected rows, columns
and elements of vectors, matrices, and arrays. A(:) is all the
elements of A, regarded as a single column. On the left side of an
assignment statement, A(:) fills A, preserving its shape from before.
A(:,J) is the J-th column of A. A(J:K) is [A(J),A(J+1),...,A(K)].
A(:,J:K) is [A(:,J),A(:,J+1),...,A(:,K)] and so on.
The colon notation can be used with a cell array to produce a comma-
separated list. C{:} is the same as C{1},C{2},...,C{end}. The comma
separated list syntax is valid inside () for function calls, [] for
concatenation and function return arguments, and inside {} to produce
a cell array. Expressions such as S(:).name produce the comma separated
list S(1).name,S(2).name,...,S(end).name for the structure S.
For the use of the colon in the FOR statement, See FOR.
For the use of the colon in a comma separated list, See VARARGIN.
