I have one basic question. When i calculate 2/3, i am getting 0.6667 as the result. But when i calculate 2/2, i am getting 1,but not 1.0000. Why?

short answer: for integers, Matlab does not display zeros after the decimal point. There is no need, plus there is the advantage that 1 displays as 1, but e.g. 1.00000001 displays as 1.0000, indicating that there is something else going on.
