The current working directory in MATLAB can be determined using the function pwd(). This function returns the path to the current working directory in the form of a string value.
Here are some examples of how to use the pwd() function in MATLAB:
1. To simply display the current working directory path:
disp(pwd())
2. To assign the current working directory path to a variable:
currentDir = pwd();
3. To change the current working directory to a specific path:
cd('C:\Users\myusername\Documents\MATLAB')
Note that the path needs to be in the correct format for your operating system. In this example, the path is for a Windows machine.
4. To change the current working directory to a path relative to the current directory:
cd('..\myfolder')
This will change the current directory to the folder named myfolder that is located in the parent directory of the current working directory.
Overall, the pwd() function is a valuable tool for navigating and working with files in MATLAB.
