Getting Started

Workspace Browser and Array Editor

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.

Workspace Browser

To view the workspace and information about each variable, use the Workspace browser, or use the functions who and whos.

To delete variables from the workspace, select the variables and select Edit -> Delete. Alternatively, use the clear function.

The workspace is not maintained after you end the MATLAB session. To save the workspace to a file that can be read during a later MATLAB session, select File -> Save, or use the save function. This saves the workspace to a binary file called a MAT-file, which has a .mat extension. You can use options to save to different formats. To read in a MAT-file, select File -> Import Data, or use the load function.

For More Information See MATLAB Workspace in the MATLAB Desktop Tools and Development Environment documentation, and the reference pages for the who, clear, save, and load functions.
