Get only one output from a function with several ones?

Suppose I define a function:

function [A,B] = myfun(x,y,z)
...
...

I know that if I type

[C,D] = myfun(1,1,1)

then I'll get both C (corresponding to A) and D (corresponding to B) for the specific values or if I type

C = myfun(1,1,1)

I'll get C (corresponding to A). Is there a way to get only D for these specific values? Thank you in advance!

Yes. You need to use the ‘~’ (in English, tilde) to suppress the outputs you don’t want. So to get only ‘D’, call the function as:

[~,D] = myfun(1,1,1)

Is there a way to do this inline? Something like:

myfun(1,1,1){2}

though I tried this and it does not work.

Suppose I have a function with 10 outputs and I want the only 5th output so Do I have to suppess output of all other 9 to get only 5th?Is there any other simple command to do that?

@ajeet sahu — It would llikely be necessary to suppress at least the first 4, then assign the fifth.
