Whats the difference between clear and clearvars function. Nothing clearly mentioned in documentation either.

just a thought

CLEAR is the industrial strength vacuum cleaner, which also cleans mem resident functions/classes/other objs, etc (see the help)...
CLEARVARS is TMW's answer to the various KEEP flavours available on the FEX: it cleans var OR keeps vars...

I don't think you read the help very thoroughly if you didn't see the difference! Go back and look at the help for CLEAR, specifically the optional arguments, like: all, functions, classes, java.

@Matt: I thing I should have been more clear. I meant to ask the difference between following two executions.

>> clear
and
>> clearvars

I know how differently they can be used with options, but without any, is there a difference?

Thanks for replies.
