Calling Functions - MATLAB & Simulink (original) (raw)

Main Content

MATLAB® provides a large number of functions that perform computational tasks. Functions are equivalent to subroutines or methods in other programming languages.

To call a function, such as max, enclose its input arguments in parentheses:

If there are multiple input arguments, separate them with commas:

Return output from a function by assigning it to a variable:

When there are multiple output arguments, enclose them in square brackets:

Enclose any text inputs in quotes:

To call a function that does not require any inputs and does not return any outputs, type only the function name:

The clc function clears the Command Window.
