$\%$ When a line of code in MATLAB begins with the percent symbol $\%,$ a couple of things happen

$\%1-$ The text on the line turns green

$\%2-$ The line becomes a Comment which means that MATLAB does not execute the line as an instruction.

$\%$ This allows the programmer to leave notes and descriptions in their code to remind themselves and others of what the code is supposed to do$.$

$\%$ We are using comments here so that you can describe the first three steps of solving this problem.

$\%$ REMEMBER, FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT, TO BEGIN EVERY LINE WITH THE PERCENT SYMBOL $\%$

$\%$ ALL OF YOUR ANSWERS SHOULD BE IN GREEN TEXT
