MATLAB: How to check the value of a varriable of a subfunction

Question

I've a function that calls another function. I can debug the program but I can't check the value of any variable of the called function after debugging. It shows me error. I want to use the command

 assignin('base', 'my_variable', Value_of_variable)

but I don't know where to use it. Please help me.

Answer 1

Place the code in the sub_function that holds the variable you want to send to the workspace to see its value, just after the variable is created. In the sentence below, "my_variable" is the name of the variable you want to send to the workspace ('base') in order to check its value. "Value_of_variable" is the value of your variable.

 assignin('base', 'my_variable', Value_of_variable)

For example, imagine that in your sub-function, there is a variable called voltage with a value of 12:

voltage = 12;

them, to send it to the workspace:

 assignin('base', 'voltage', 12);

or

 assignin('base', 'voltage', voltage);
