MATLAB Function Writing Basics: Quick Guide

MATLAB Function Writing Basics: Quick Guide

MATLAB functions encapsulate code for reuse. Here's a brief guide:

1. Syntax:

matlab
Copy code
function output = functionName(input1, input2, ...)
% MATLAB code
output = result;
end
2. Example:

matlab
Copy code
function result = addTwoNumbers(a, b)
result = a + b;
end
3. Calling:

matlab
Copy code
sumResult = addTwoNumbers(3, 5);
disp(['Sum: ', num2str(sumResult)]);
4. Multiple Outputs:

matlab
Copy code
function [output1, output2] = myFunction(input1, input2)
output1 = result1;
output2 = result2;
end
5. Local Variables:
Variables inside functions are local.

Writing functions enhance code readability and reusability in MATLAB.
