Why is nothing being stored in the "Workspace" after I run my code?

I have a video processing code, its an ALPR program I am working on. But every time I run the code, none of the usual stuff that is stored in the Workspace of Matlab is getting stored. What could be the cause of this?

Every function has its own workspace. This is a good thing, because it keep different code from affecting each other. You simply need to pass the desired variables as input and output arguments.

You're running a function instead of a script. The variables in the function are local and vanish once you exit the function. If you want to see what their values are, set a breakpoint on the last line of your function, just before it exits.

Possibly if you run the functions the variables will not stored in work space. Only the returned variables stored .If you not returned any values then nothing will be stored

Yes, thats exactly what is happening. Thank you.
