| How about:

| final = length(data):

The length function is a bit strange because for non-empty arguments,
it returns the size of the largest dimension, not the overall length.
For empty arguments, it returns 0.  This odd behavior is inherited
from Matlab and is required for compatibility.

Instead of using length, I'd recommend using size to get the size of a
specific dimension, or numel for the overall number of elements.
