The exercises are meant for self-monitoring, revision of the lecture
topic. You should try to solve them on your own. Your solution should
be submitted as a single script (m-file) in the Ilias system. Each
task should be solved in its own ``cell''. Each cell must be
executable on its own. The file should be named according to the following pattern:
``variables\_datatypes\_\{lastname\}.m'' benannt werden
