Hi,

Using

>> pdist([x,y]);

>> pdist([x;y]);

where x and y are vector

It will throw an error however suppose you have a vector x = [1,2,3,4];

it would be row majored vector i.e., (1 X 4)matrix as x = 1 2 3 4

and if x = [1;2;3;4];

it would be column majored vector i.e., (4 X 1) matrix as

x = 1
