Details

Example 1

We create three new identifiers. The second identifier has a different prefix:

>> genident(), genident("Y"), genident()
                                X1, Y1, X2

In the next example, we assign a value to the identifier X4. Then the next two calls to genident skip the name X4:

>> X4 := 5:
   genident(), genident()
                                  X3, X5
