How to use multiple outputs from function

function[x,y]=rowcolum(a,b)

x=max(sum(a,2));

y=min(sum(b,1));

end

how to write a code that will sum x+y in main script?

Answer 1

[Thorsten]

Why not

z = x + y;

[Etan Cole]

because i must have function that return multiple outputs and the use them seperately

[Matt J]

But why not simply invoke the function, obtain 2 outputs, and then sum them:

[x,y]=rowcolumn(a,b); %a call to rowcolumn
z=x+y

[Etan Cole]

that was what i wanted thanks man :)

I assume you want to do the summation outside the workspace, for some reason . If so, then,

      outputsRequested=2;

      [c{1:outputsRequested}]=rowcolumn(a,b);

      result = sum([c{:}])

[Etan Cole]

i want the two outputs and use them seperately. when i call the function in my workspace appears only x and y is no where to be found

[Matt J]

You can later assign the output to separate variables if you wish,

   x=c{1}
   y=c{2}

but why you wouldn't simply use c{1} and c{2} instead of separate variables x and y is not clear.
