how to make function that sometimes return output and how to call

• b sometimes returned from myfn and sometimes not returned, so how to write the function that may retrun b

function [a,b] = myfn(x,y)
a

Simplest solution: set a default output value:

function [a,b] = myfn(x,y)
a = 1;
b = [];
if(x=y)
  b = 2;
end
end
