Returning the final value of a while loop

I have a problem where I need to run a loop until x-y is less than a certain amount, with x getting smaller every time. When x-y is finally less than, say, h, how can I return the final value of x and put it into a variable? This is part of a larger function, and I don't want it to just display, I need to store the x value in a variable. For example:
function P = (x,y,h)
while (x-y) > h
x=x-1;
end
end
how can I make the answer to the function equal to the final x value?

Just set your return variable to x. E.g.,
function P = myFunction(x,y,h)
while (x-y) > h
x=x-1;
end
P = x;
end
Note: There are better ways to get the final x value that don't involve brute force subtracting 1 in a loop.
