global variable not working.

function [f] = objfun(n)

global f;

f = var(n);

end

How is the global variable not working

Hi Sameer,

Please clarify the statement how is the global variable not working. What do you mean exactly?

Note that you are returning a parameter named f and you have declared a global variable with the same name. Why? There is no need to declare your return parameter as global.

You don't need to make f global if you're returning it to the caller. Why? Why do that? Declaring it global inside objfun means that f now takes on whatever value it had last instead of being a local variable. But then you just overwrite that value , so there was absolutely no point in making it global since you didn't even use its global value. Delete that global line of code.
