MEX stands for MATLAB executable and it’s a way to call custom C, C++, or FORTRAN routines/code directly from MATLAB, thereby treating them as if they were MATLAB built-in functions. Since MATLAB is compatible with several programming languages, including C/C++, FORTRAN, C#, and Java, the MEX files can be called exactly like M-files or M-functions within the MATLAB environment. It is also possible to create standalone applications in MATLAB as self-executable files.
MATLAB’s Coder toolbox is very powerful and is capable of creating standalone ...
