MATLAB: How do you store the output of a function

Question

I wrote a function "problem8 (r,x)" and am using it in a new script:

problem8 (0.5,0:5)

When I run the above script, this is what I see in my command window:

x =

     0     1     2     3     4     5

y =

     0     0    -1    -3    -6   -10

I would like for these vectors or arrays (x and y) to be stored in my workspace but am not sure how to do so.

Answer 1

Change the first line of your function to:

function [x, y] = problem8 (r,x)

Then call it as:

[x, y] = problem8(0.5,0:5)

and the values of ‘x’ and ‘y’ should be in your workspace.

You have to ask your function to return the results you’re interested in as output.
