It does work: you told MATLAB to save the current workspace in a MAT file, and that is exactly what happened.

save saves to a mat file, so what is happening when you do this

save('untitled2.m')

is that a file is created called untitled.m, which has .m extension but .mat format, so when you look at it in the editor you're looking at binary data contained in that mat file.

To save a mat file with .mat extension do this

save('untitled2.mat')

or this

save('untitled2')
