In the past, writing an application was all about writing code in a step-by-step, static manner, which works fine for a great many needs. Also, running regular code makes the results appear separately from the code, resulting in a disconnect between the two.
However, many people prefer to work with code in a dynamic manner so that they can see the result of a line of thought immediately after pursuing it. A Live Script is a technique of writing code that lets you work with your code dynamically and see the result alongside the code. This approach provides a less abstract method of creating MATLAB scripts.
