MATLAB Workspace

The MATLAB workspace consists of the set of variables (named arrays) built up during a MATLAB session and stored in memory. You add variables to the workspace by using functions, running M-files, and loading saved workspaces. For example, if you type

• t = 0:pi/4:2*pi;
  y = sin(t);
  

the workspace includes two variables, y and t, each having nine values.

You can perform workspace operations and related features using the Workspace browser. Equivalent functions are available and are documented with each feature of the Workspace browser.
