Is it necessary to clear variables before writing the same variable (updated contents) to workspace?

Kind of a silly question about a very fundamental thing. I forgot if Matlab always completely overwrites a variable if I reassign it. Or is it possible that some old content will remain if the old variable had more fields, elements, etc? More specifically, I have a GUI where one of the buttons is to send a couple structures (named "S" and "S2") to the base workspace in case I want to play around with them.
If I already had S and S2 in the base workspace from before, is there any need or reason to clear them in the base workspace prior to executing this line
assignin('base','S','S')

Try it and see. By the way, sending structures to the base workspace is probably not a good idea. I never do this, and most programmers probably don't either. It's not needed for well written code.
