All the supported int* and uint* are converted to Integer or Complex (as the case may be).

single and double are converted to Real or Complex (as the case may be).

You do not need to do this conversion, but you should be aware of how it is converted so that you can design your programs accordingly. This section documents the internal rules that govern the translation of data structures from MATLAB to Mathematica and vice versa. Use 'Output' -> False in such situations. By default MFunction assumes a single output argument, which causes errors in some MATLAB functions that return no output.If the first character in 'body' is then the function is defined as an anonymous function in MATLAB's workspace and no function file is created.To force overwrite an existing file, use the option 'Overwrite' -> True (default value for 'Overwrite' is False). When creating new functions using the syntax MFunction, MFunction will not overwrite exsiting.Note that MATLAB plots will be opened in a new window, unlike Mathematica plots which are displayed inside the notebook. Use MFunction when func returns more than one argument (default value for 'OutputArguments' is 1).Įigsys = MFunction.Creating an anonymous function and using itĪnonymous functions defined in this manner form a closure, as in MATLAB.Creating a custom function and using it.m file with the contents body and returns MFunction.

MFunction represents a MATLAB function func (that is on MATLAB's path), and can be called directly from within Mathematica. To bridge this divide, MFunction offers the functionality to use the multiple output form of MATLAB functions, but the number of outputs must be set explicitly when defining the function. This is at odds with the behaviour in Mathematica (and in functional programming languages in general), where a function's behaviour is determined solely by its inputs. In MATLAB, one can define functions to have completely different behaviour based on the number of output arguments for the same set of input arguments. This makes it easy to reuse code found online, either on the MathWorks File Exchange or elsewhere, instead of reimplementing it in Mathematica. The MScript and MFunction functions allow one to execute MATLAB scripts and functions from within Mathematica. MATLAB programming involves script files, which are a series of sequential instructions to the interpreter (executed in the base workspace) or functions, which take zero or more inputs and return zero or more outputs (executed in its own workspace).
