Workspace variable ans 
| ID | STAT-21 |
| Title | Do not use the workspace variable ans. |
| Priority | Mandatory |
| Severity level | 3 |
| Description | Do not use the workspace variable ans since this might lead to undesired behavior. |
| Rationale | Use of the workspace variable ans reduces the robustness and security of the code. |
Avoid:
function out = get_value(in)
3 + 3;
out = ans + in;
Instead use:
function out = get_value(in)
var1 = 3 + 3;
out = var1 + in;
