MATLAB: Can I search for exact phrases in the MATLAB Help Browser

browserexacthelpMATLABphrasesquotessearch

I would like to be able to search for exact phrases in the MATLAB documentation. For example, I would like to search for the exact phrase "curve fitting". However, this returns a result with no exact matches.

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 2006b (R2006b). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

The ability to perform exact phrase searches in the Help Browser is not available in MATLAB.

To work around this issue, you can go to the documentation search engine at our website at the following URL:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/

You can then use double quotes to search for exact phrases in the documentation.

MATLAB: Was there a command repeated in Example 2 in the CONTAINERS function documentation page in the pre-release of MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b)

This is a bug in the CONTAINERS.MAP documentation page in MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b) prerelease.

The correct text should read as follows:

 US_capitals.Count,
 ans =
     1
 US_capitals.KeyType
 ans =
     string
 US_capitals.ValueType
 ans =
     string

MATLAB: Integers to English phrase

As a further hint, consider the following version, which is almost what you want

function S = convert_to_words(number)
   ones= {'', 'One', 'Two', 'Three', 'Four', 'Five', 'Six', 'Seven', 'Eight', 'Nine'};
   tens = {'','ERROR', 'Twenty-', 'Thirty-'};
   
   tens_digit=3;
   ones_digit=4;
   
 S=[tens{tens_digit + 1}, ones{ones_digit + 1}];
 
end

It works very reliably on the number 34,

>> S=convert_to_words(34)
S =
    'Thirty-Four'

Your job is to get it to work for everything else.
