definitions
1.

num is numerator of transfer function ( 2s + 3 )

2.

den is denominator transfer function ( s3 + 5s2 + 8s + 4 )

3.

sys is transfer function (num/den)

4.

y is numerical step response of sys and final time for simulation is 10

5.

plot generates the step response ( 0 < t < 10 )

6.
