size

size — size of objects

Calling sequence

y=size(x [,sel])  
[nr,nc]=size(x)

`x`	: matrix (including transfer matrix) or list or linear system (`syslin`)
`y`	: `1x2` integer vector or integer number
`sel`	: a scalar or a character string
`nr,nc`	: two integers

`Applied to :`	a matrix (constant, polynomial, string, boolean, rational) `x`, with only one lhs argument `size` returns a `1`x`2` vector [number of rows, number of columns]. Called with LHS=2, returns `nr,nc` = [number of rows, number of columns]. `sel` may be used to specify what dimension to get:
`1 or 'r'`	: to get the number of rows
`2 or 'c'`	: to get the number of columns
`'*'`	: to get the product of rows and column numbers
`Applied to:`	a list it returns the number of elements. In this case only `y=size(x)` syntax can be used
`Applied to:`	a linear system, `y=size(x)` returns in `y` the (row) vector [number of outputs, number if inputs] i.e. the dimension of the corresponding transfer matrix. The syntax `[nr,nc]=size(x)` is also valid (with `(nr,nc)=(y(1),y(2)`). If `x` is a linear system in state-space form, then `[nr,nc,nx]=size(x)` returns in addition the dimension `nx` of the `A` matrix of `x`.
	label='Applied to:'> an hypermatrix `y=size(x)` returns the vector of hypermatrix dimensions. `[n1,n2,...nn]=size(x)` returns the hypermatrix dimensions. `ni=size(x,i)` returns the ith dimension and `size(x,'*')` returns the product of dimensions.
