This looks good, but we generally expect programs to be executable (i.e. accept a string off the command line).

Can you expand on this please? Looking at the other MATLAB samples it seems that they're almost all functions like this.

Edit: I did some more research, and this is actually already usable from the command line like this. MATLAB doesn't really work from the terminal like Python or something. So in order to run this you could do something like matlab -nodisplay -nojvm -r 'reverse_a_string("Hello, World!")'; but this then starts a MATLAB instance as seen in the screenshot

Yeah, the MATLAB examples aren't great. Ideally, these should be executable programs. Perhaps MATLAB doesn't fit the typical requirements for this repo. I'll go ahead and merge this for now, and then we'll try to figure out the best path forward at a later time.
