MATLAB: Debugging a nested function

debugMATLABnested functionstatic workspace

Hello!

I have created a code with nested functions in it. My problem is, that when I am in debugging mode and try to create a variable for testing certain values, matlab gives the following error:

Attempt to add "test" to a static workspace.
 See MATLAB Programming, Restrictions on Assigning to Variables for details.

It is really bothering, because I create test variables all the time during debug mode. Is there a solution for that, where I can do so?

Peter - see variables in nested and anonymous functions for a description of the problem and possible solutions (the suggestion is to use global variables). On the other hand, why do you want to create new variables? Can't you just use the Command Window to display the current state/value of the variables?

It can be done by using assignin in the function. It's on par with using global variables, goto, eval, etc. It makes the behaviour of your program a lot more obscure, so best avoided. Saving you from typing a few character is certainly not reason enough.

t=diff(Time(fliplr(locationsR)));
maxT=max(t);
minT=min(t);
diagT=maxT-minT;

No need for t1, t2, ... just index into t. I assume time is an array that you are indexing into. There is a matlab function called time, I would not use a variable named the same thing. I might not understand what you want to do. I suggest that you explain more fully.
