save variables, tables and co in the workspace in matlab

To save variables, tables and other data structures in the workspace in Matlab, you can use the save function. The save function is used to save one or more variables to a binary MATLAB-specific format with the .mat file extension.

Here is an example on how to save variables, tables and structs:

main.m
% creating variables and tables
x = 42;
y = 'hello';
A = [1, 2; 3, 4];
T = table(A);

% saving variables and table to a .mat file
save('example.mat', 'x', 'y', 'A', 'T')
170 chars
9 lines

In this example, we created a scalar variable x, a string variable y, a 2x2 matrix A and a table T containing the matrix A. We then used the save function to save all these variables to a file named example.mat.

You can also save a subset of the variables in the workspace to a .mat file by specifying their names as arguments to the save function. For example, if we only want to save the variables x and y, we can modify the last line of the code as follows:

main.m
save('example.mat', 'x', 'y')
30 chars
2 lines

The load function can be used to load the saved variables, tables and structures back into the workspace:

main.m
% loading the variables and table from the example.mat file
load('example.mat')
80 chars
3 lines

Now, the variables x, y, A and T will be loaded into the workspace with their values as they were when they were saved.
