Adding Inputs and Output

  • Scripts vs. Functions
    Code files can be scripts that simply execute a series of MATLAB statements, or they can be functions that also accept input arguments and produce output.
  • Add Functions to Scripts
    Add functions to scripts to reuse code within a script and avoid creating and managing separate function files.
