k Matrix Variable Element Operations
You can recall the value of any element of a MATRIX variable. When the data
12

is assigned to matrix “mat1”, for example, you can recall the element located at row 2,
column 1.
You can also assign a value to any element in a matrix. For example, you could assign the
value “5” to the element at row 1 column 2 in “mat1”, which produces the matrix
