create a function to calculate vorticity with a given vector of x, y, u, and v in matlab

main.m
function vorticity = calculateVorticity(x, y, u, v)
    % Calculate the vorticity of the fluid flow at each point
    % Input: x, y - vector of coordinates
    %        u, v - vector of velocity components
    % Output: vorticity - vector of vorticity values

    % Calculate the derivatives of velocity components
    du_dy = gradient(u, y);
    dv_dx = gradient(v, x);

    % Calculate vorticity
    vorticity = dv_dx - du_dy;

The function calculateVorticity takes four input vectors: x and y for coordinates, u for velocity component in x-direction, and v for velocity component in y-direction. It calculates the vorticity of the fluid flow at each point using the derivatives of velocity components and returns the vorticity values in a vector.
