My question is how to keep a variable in a called function into the workspace.
I was told the code can be written using persistent memory inside the function.
As known, when calling a function, all the variables will be cleared after the function is called, i.e., no variables will appear in workspace.
Can anybody tell me how to work on it.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, there is a thing called a "persistent variable".
Is this what you would like to use?

I don't perfectly understand what you mean, but I can think of three possibilities that might help you:
  • Send the variable as output
  • Use a global variable
  • Use the assignin() function
You should easily be able to find information about all of these in the documentation.

The code below uses a persistent variable. The first time the function is run, the variable is given the value [] (the empty matrix).
function out = testPersistent()
persistent x
if isempty(x)
x = 1;
else
x = x + 1;
end
out = x;
end
When I run the function several times, this is what the output looks like.
>> testPersistent()
ans = 1
>> testPersistent()
ans = 2
>> testPersistent()
ans = 3
I hope this helps.
