I am a bit puzzled by the following MATLAB behavior: After defininf my matrix

g = ones(5)

I do not understand why these expressions makes sense

g(false)=3 # leaves g unchanged
g(true)=3 # g(1,1) is changed to 3

while this syntax

g(0)=3 # provides error "Array indices must be positive integers or logical values."
g(1)=3 # g(1,1) is changed to 3

I do not understand what the "g(false)" is exactly doing. Any hinsight would be of help.

Looking in Matlab support, very long, not focused.

    For a matrix `g`, `g(false)` uses a combination of logical and linear indexing.
