how ro rename matrix

I have made a matrix

matrix1=[1:4;3:6]

matrix1 =

     1     2     3     4
     3     4     5     6

how can I rename it?

Answer 1

[Harry MacDowel]

newmatrixname = matrix1;

[Tor Fredrik Hove]

how can you delete the old matrix so that when you type matrix1 no matrix will be displayed?

[Jan]

@Tor: "clear matrix1". Please read the Getting Started chapters of the documentation. A powerful tool like MATLAB requires studying the docs urgently.

You can also do it interactively from the Workspace Browser - mark the variable and click it again and then you could rename it.
