C = A - B; If you are maintaining legacy code, spotting bsxfun is the immediate tell that the script was written before the 2016b paradigm shift. This single update simplified code readability immensely. Visually, 2016 looks like a "Modern Classic." It was the immediate successor to the 2014 ribbon-style layout. You have the Current Folder, Workspace, and Command Window docked in a dark gray theme (no dark mode, unfortunately—that’s a 2023 feature).
If you have been in the engineering or academic world for the last decade, you have likely bumped into a .fig file or a .m script that just refuses to run on the latest version of MATLAB. matlab 2016
If you have to open a .mat file from 2016 today, don't panic. The code is solid, the math is correct, and the plots still render beautifully. Just remember to convert those bsxfun calls if you ever port the code forward. Have you been forced to backport code to 2016 recently? Or are you still running it as your daily driver? Let me know in the comments below. C = A - B; If you are
C = bsxfun(@minus, A, B);
