Create a datetime scalar representing November 1, 2013 at 8:00 AM.

t1 = datetime(2013,11,1,8,0,0);

Add a sequence of fixed-length hours to the datetime.

t = t1 + hours(0:2)

t = 1x3 datetime array

01-Nov-2013 08:00:00 01-Nov-2013 09:00:00 01-Nov-2013 10:00:00

Add a sequence of calendar months to the datetime.

t = t1 + calmonths(1:5)

t = 1x5 datetime array

Columns 1 through 3

01-Dec-2013 08:00:00 01-Jan-2014 08:00:00 01-Feb-2014 08:00:00

Columns 4 through 5

01-Mar-2014 08:00:00 01-Apr-2014 08:00:00

Each datetime in t occurs on the first day of each month.

Verify that the dates in t are spaced 1 month apart.

dt = caldiff(t)

dt = 1x4 calendarDuration array

1mo 1mo 1mo 1mo

Determine the number of days between each date.

dt = caldiff(t,'days')

dt = 1x4 calendarDuration array

31d 31d 28d 31d

Add a number of calendar months to the date, January 31, 2014, to create a sequence of

dates that fall on the last day of each month.
