create a function that takes data in matlab

To create a function that takes data as input in MATLAB, follow these steps:

  1. Open a new file in MATLAB editor by clicking on the "New Script" button or by typing "edit" in the command window.
  2. Define the function by using the "function" keyword followed by the function name and the input arguments in parentheses. For example:
main.m
function output = myFunction(input1, input2)
45 chars
2 lines
  1. In the function body, you can use the input arguments as you normally would in MATLAB code. For example:
main.m
output = input1 + input2;
26 chars
2 lines
  1. To use the function, save the file with the same name as the function name and with a .m extension (e.g., "myFunction.m"). Then, call the function with the appropriate input arguments. For example:
main.m
result = myFunction(3, 4);
27 chars
2 lines

This would assign the value 7 to the variable "result".

Here is the complete example code for the function:

main.m
function output = myFunction(input1, input2)
output = input1 + input2;
end
75 chars
4 lines

You can call this function in MATLAB as follows:

main.m
result = myFunction(3, 4);
disp(result); % displays 7
54 chars
3 lines
