Print MATLAB Source Code in LaTeX
Method 1: by the listings package12 (the lstlisting environment with the language option)

%% Sample Matlab code

4, 5, 6];
s = 'abcd';
for k = 1:4
disp(s(k)) % bar
end
% create row vector x, then reverse it
x = linspace(0,1,101);
y = x(end:-1:1);
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}
Method 2: by the matlab-prettifier package3 (the lstlisting environment with the style option, where at this time we don’t need to import the listings package)

\begin{lstlisting}[frame=single,

%% Sample Matlab code
A = [1, 2, 3;... foo
4, 5, 6];
s = 'abcd';

end
% create row vector x, then reverse it
x = linspace(0,1,101);

\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}
What’s more, we can directly print the source code from an external .m script file4:

\lstinputlisting[

]{script.m}
\end{document}
Besides, the documentation of matlab-prettifier package provides more customization options3.
Method 3: use the listings package to customize styles
We can use the listings package to customize styles by a set of properties. Here is an example from the article1, although it is originally designed for the programming language Octave.
