What is the method for clearing the workspace in Matlab?
There are two ways to clear the MATLAB workspace:
- To clear all variables in the current workspace in MATLAB, simply enter “clear” directly in the MATLAB command window. This action will remove all variables, functions, and scripts in the workspace.
- By using the clearvars command in MATLAB, you can clear all variables in the current workspace by typing clearvars in the command window. Unlike clear, clearvars also allows you to selectively clear certain variables by specifying their names. For example, inputting clearvars x y will only clear variables x and y while keeping others untouched.
It’s important to note that these two methods will only clear the variables in the current workspace, and will not delete MATLAB scripts, functions, and data files that have already been saved on disk.
