How do I view the function workspace?

I have several functions in my script. When I run the script, the variables do not show up in the base workspace. I don't know how to view the function workspace, hence I can't see the values of my function variables.

This is the difference between global and local variables. Global variables are accessible throughout the program whereas local variables can be accessed only in the function body.

[Walter Roberson]

global variables are accessible only in routines that also declare the variable to be global.

brake point and step in to the function, will show everything

Your answer with the breakpoints is the best one. Another way would be to use the whos command inside of the function:

whos

Put this command as a line in your script or function

workspace;

[Adwait]

I put it in the function but it still doesn't show me the variables.

I found another way. If I set a breakpoint in the function it shows the function workspace.

If you know of another way of doing this it would be great if you could share.

I'm not entirely sure what you want, but you could have the function return the variables you are interested in.

[Adwait]

That's true. The workspace is just a convenient place to look at the value and the other attributes. Thanks.

Having the same issue but adding workspace; to the .m file did not work. still cannot see the variables of the function from the command line.

@Jeff Bull, do you see the workspace panel? If it was not up, then calling worskapce should show it. And it should show the current values of the variables. If it can't show them all in the workspace, you can double click on the variable name in the workspace to bring it up in the variable editor where you'll be able to see more values of it.

If you set a breakpoint on the line where you call your function you should see in values of the input arguments both in the workspace panel, and in a popup when you hover your cursor over the variables in the source code panel. Are you saying that neither of these methods display the values? Worst vase you can double click the variable name (to select it) and type F9 to show it in the command window, or you can just type the name on the command line.
