get todays date in matlab

To get today's date in MATLAB, you can use the datetime function without any argument inside it as shown below:

main.m
```matlab
today = datetime('today')
```

This will create a `datetime` object representing the current date in your system's timezone. You can also display the date and time as a string using the `datestr` function as shown below:

```matlab
today_str = datestr(today)
```

This will create a string representation of the date in the default format, which is 'dd-mmm-yyyy'. If you want to use a different format, you can specify it as the second argument to `datestr`. For example, to display the date in 'yyyy/mm/dd' format, you can do the following:

```matlab
today_str = datestr(today, 'yyyy/mm/dd')
```
