RE: beginner question: returning matrix and other

[Hall, Benjamin]

Just list them directly in the function output argument list.  For example:

function [a,b] = mycoolfunction( n )

a = ones(n,n);
b = n;

return
endfunction


[thematrix,thescalar] = mycoolfunction(2)

Subject: beginner question: returning matrix and other


I have a function that wants to return a matrix and a scalar.  The
most obvious way to do this doesn't work.  Am I missing something?
Using cell's seems overkill.

    octave:45> a=ones(2,2)
    a =

      1  1
      1  1

    octave:46> b=3
    b = 3
    octave:47> [a,b]
    error: number of rows must match (1 != 2) near line 47, column 4
