Is Clearing Redundant Cells Necessary
2 visualizaciones (últimos 30 días)

If I am running a Main script then executing sub-scripts, is there any point in me clearing the redundant cells no longer needed or does executing the sub-routine delete all other non global cells?

Scripts use the caller's workspace, and do not "clear" anything from memory unless this is explicitly written in the script. The best answer to your question is going to be: "stop using scripts for serious code, and learn to use functions". Then these kinds of beginner questions become irrelevant (as the MATLAB memory manager intelligently takes care of tidying up variables inside function workspaces).

What do you mean by a sub-script? Scripts use the base workspace so if you call one script from another (which I assume is what you mean) everything from both scripts will remain in the base workspace, so if your cell array takes up a lot of memory then it will continue to do so. Whether it is worth clearing or not depends if that memory is excessive. If not then don't bother as it will take up time in the running of the script (if speed is an issue for you)

"Scripts use the base workspace" is wrong. Scripts actually use the workspace of where they are called from, as the documentation clearly states:
"When you call a script from a function, the script uses the function workspace."
This is an important distinction, which significantly affects the topic of memory management (and therefore this question), as function workspaces are cleared intelligently by MATLAB's cleanup process. The OP did not tell us how or from what workspace these scripts are being called.
