Variables in function are not stored in workspace

When I run the following code, I cant access g1 and g2. How can I get g1 and g2 to be stored in the workspaceso that I can access it later?

function g = helpme(x)

g=0;

syms f;

for i=1:length(x)

if length(x)~=1

g= cumsum(x);

[c,index] = min(abs(g-sum(x)/2));

if(i<=index)

f(:,i) = zeros(1);

else

f(:,i) = ones(1);

end

g1 = x(1,1:index)

g2 = x(1,index + 1:length(x))

end

end

end

commandwindow

ss=[27 24 10 9 9 9 6 4 3 3 3 3 3];

hh=helpme(ss)

If you want g1 and g2 to be available in the workspace in which you call helpme, specify them as output arguments for helpme:

function [g, g1, g2] = helpme(x)

AND call helpme with enough output arguments.

>> [hh, thisIsg1, thisIsg2] = helpme(ss)

You need both these steps.

Thanks a lot, It worked perfectly.

Click on the line in the function where you want to place a breakpoint. Execute the function. The function will stop at the breakpoint and your variables will be in the workspace.

[Sujay A]

function g = helpme(x)

g=0;

syms f;

for i=1:length(x)

if length(x)~=1

g= cumsum(x);

[c,index] = min(abs(g-sum(x)/2));

if(i<=index)

f(:,i) = zeros(1);

else

f(:,i) = ones(1);

end

g1 = x(1,1:index)

g2 = x(1,index + 1:length(x))

end

end

end

For the above function, I would like to put breakpoints to access g1 and g2, can you please tell me how can I do it?
