Functions for structure array

I get how to many a structure array in the command window but I am kind of lost of how to write the function for it. Mostly the function header. I need to make a structure of students that have the inputs of name, id, and grades. I need to have a 1x1 structure of newStudents and then populate a 1x5 stucture of students.

would it be correct to write

function [student] = student
student = [student,newStudent];

and then fill it? Please help

There are a few ways. Here is the most direct,

>> student=struct('name',{'George','Mary','Steve','Susan','Ralph'},'grade',{'A','A+','F','A-','B'})

student = 

1x5 struct array with fields:

      name
      grade
