MATLAB: A function that takes a table as input and returns a table as output

Question

Can one write a function that takes a table as an input and returns a table as an output?

Answer 1

Hey,

Its completely possible to take the input as a table in MATLAB Function and return it as an output. I have written a code for your reference where I generate a random table, give it as an input in the function, change its value at cell 2 to 0 and return the modified table from the function.

Code: -

function table_output = myfunction(table_input)
   table_input{2,2} = 0; %changing cell at 2,2 to 0
   table_output = table_input; % returning the output
end
t =  table(randn(3,1),randn(3,1),'VariableNames',{'X' 'Y'}); %generating random table
output = myfunction(t); %calling function with table generated;
