returning output of nested function

Hi there,

I have a function nested inside another function. How can I get the main function to return the output of the nested function so that I can see it in the workspace? I want to the "fval" as an output below.

Thank you

function [output1,output2] = OptimiseEnergy(input1,input2,input3,input4)

% do stuff with inputs 1-4  

[x, fval] = linprog(obj_vec, a, b,[],[],lb,ub,x0,options)

end

You have to assign fval to one of the outputs of the top-level function.

Or add fval as an output of the top-level function -- OptimiseEnergy

For example:

function [x,y,z] = playfunc(a,b)
% a and b are equal size vectors
   x = a+b;
   y = a-b;
   z = conv(x,y);
end

conv.m is called inside playfunc.m and the output of conv is returned from playfunc.m
