Call a Matrix inside another Script

I want to achieve:

1. psm_q is a script.

2. When I am in main.m, type

psm_q;

psm_q will be shown in the workspace as a 6*1 matrix with values defined in psm_q.m

Let's say the 6*1 matrix of psm_q is [pi/3; pi/3; 0.1; pi/3; pi/3; pi/3], what should I code in psm_q?

I tried typing in psm_q:

[pi/3; pi/3; 0.1; pi/3; pi/3; pi/3]

,

  [q1=pi/3;
  q2=pi/3;
  q3=0.1;
  q4=pi/3;
  q5=pi/3;
  q6=pi/3]

and

function [q1,q2,q3,q4,q5,q6]=psm_q()
  q1=pi/3;
  q2=pi/3;
  q3=0.1;
  q4=pi/3;
  q5=pi/3;
  q6=pi/3;
end

but they all don't work as expected.

Please help.

Numbered variables are a sign that you are doing something wrong. Sitck to using arrays if you want to make your code simpler and more efficient.

Just call it in the main.m script

function psm_q=psm_q_func()
  q1=pi/3;
  q2=pi/3;
  q3=0.1;
  q4=pi/3;
  q5=pi/3;
  q6=pi/3;
  psm_q=[q1 q2 q3 q4 q5 q6].';
end

Thanks for your help!

But when the main.m has another function,

the error shows: Function with duplicate name "main" cannot be defined.

[madhan ravi]

there contains another file named main.m either rename it or delete it

[Stephen23]

Simpler without transpose:

psm_q = [q1; q2; q3; q4; q5; q6];

or even better:

function out = psm_q_func()
out = [pi/3; pi/3; 0.1; pi/3; pi/3; pi/3];
end

Thank you @Stephen :)

Actually all you need in your script is this:

psm_q = [pi/3; pi/3; 0.1; pi/3; pi/3; pi/3];
