make a variable from a function public in matlab

In MATLAB, all variables defined within a function are by default local to that function and cannot be accessed outside of it. However, if you want to make a variable from a function accessible globally, you can use the global keyword.

Here's how you can make a variable public in MATLAB:

1. Declare the variable as global within the function.
2. Assign a value to the variable.
3. Use the variable outside of the function.

Here's an example:

main.m
function myFunction()
    global myVariable   % Declare the variable as global
    
    myVariable = 10;    % Assign a value to the variable
    
    % You can use the variable anywhere outside this function
    disp(myVariable);
end

Now you can access the myVariable variable from anywhere in your MATLAB code.

main.m
myFunction();   % Output: 10

disp(myVariable);   % Output: 10

Keep in mind that using global variables may not always be the best design choice, as it can make code harder to understand and maintain. It's generally recommended to use function arguments and return values to pass data between functions instead of relying on global variables.
