Answer 1

If function F has argument X and F is calling a second function G, then F can just pass X to G

function F(X)
   ...
   G(X)
end

thanks to your fast response, simply my question is if i have function X that has inputs (a,b). function X call other function Y. All i need that how make function Y calls the values of (a,b) Many thanks

Without knowing more about the functions, I would pass them as parameters. If one function uses them as inputs and outputs some derived value that other functions use, the first function must return the derived values as outputs, for the other functions to use as arguments (inputs).

PLEASE do not pass them as global variables!

Ambiguous Questions produce ambiguous Answers, so that’s the best I can do.

Without knowing more, this would be an outline of what I would do, assuming that ‘X’ and ‘Y’ are already defined as functions in your workspace or MATLAB path:

function Q1 = X(a,b)
  Q2 = Y(a,b)
  Q1 = Q2 ... and whatever operations you want to perform on it;
end

Once you pass (a,b) into ‘X’, they are available to ‘Y’ in this situation.

Then call ‘X’ from your main script workspace:

Q1 = X(a,b);

It will return whatever you told it to.
