I have created a function "my_function" and into it I call another function called "another_function".
function my_function()
value = another_function(foo);
end
My question is: inside another_function(), do I need to put a line of code that says "return", or I may omit the return keyword and simply return automatically by finishing executing all lines of "another_function()"?

Salvatore, are you asking how to make the function return the value that will be assigned to 'value' inside my_function? In MATLAB, unlike some other languages, there is no need to tell the function which value to return to the caller by a special call to the return keyword. For example, put this in your local directory:
function out = mysquarefcn(in)
out = in.*in;
Once you save that as mysquarefcn.m, the from the command line call it like this:
>> mysquarefcn(3)
>> G = mysquarefcn(3)

You can put returns wherever necessary in the function. At the end of the function it is optional (not necessary) but you can if you want

@Brianna Biondo, for example, in the file my_function.m you would have all these lines of code:
function my_function()
% Assign some input value that we will pass to another_function().
foo = 37.4;
% Pass the input value to another_function().
value = another_function(foo);
% Now print its value to the command window.
fprintf('After calling "another_function(%f)", we get value = %f.\n', foo, value);
end
% Now declare another function below the main function that has the name of the script.
% This function can be below the main my_function function in the same m-file,
% OR in a different m-file called "another_function.m".
function outputValue = another_function(inputValue)
outputValue = 10 * inputValue;
return; % This line is completely optional.
end
