Storing arrays with guidata/Userdata

Im having a hard time wrapping my head around how I might go around storing an array for later use using my gui. I want to be able to store an array called LN using a pushbutton but im not entirely sure how to tackle it. I dont need anything too complex I just want to be able to see an example and figure out where to start. Ive looked over guidata and Userdata functions. I came to the conclusion guidata may be more functional for my current project, but other than using it within a figure, im not sure how to store LN with the press of the pushbuttons I have.

How might I go about that? Everytime a new value is input LN is reset to zero

Actually I figured it out, i just had to move a value outside the function

I figured out how to save data without gui data. It was as simple as using "persistent" in my function.
Although it may not be the best way, it works as I need it to.
function NumberBook(CT,T) % <- pass LN to the function
persistent LN
if T == -1
clear LN
elseif CT == 1 % Start of counter
LN = zeros(1,10); % Allocated space | 10 Digit restriction (Implimented later on)
N = zeros(1,10);
N(CT) = T; % Adds number to array
LN = LN + N;
disp(LN)
elseif CT >= 1
N = zeros(1,10);
N(CT) = T; % Adds number to array
LN = LN + N;
disp(LN)
end
end
Giving me an actual number when a number is inputted, rather than just being zeros and a new value.
ans =
6 2 2 3 2 3 5 0 0 0
ans =
6 2 2 3 2 3 5 0 1 0
ans =
6 2 2 3 2 3 5 0 1 6

function Myproj_Button1_Callback(hObject, event, ~)
handles = guidata(hObject) ;
handles.LN = magic(7);
guidata(hObject, handles);
function Myproj_GoButton(hObject, event, ~)
handles = guidata(hObject);
LN = handles.LN;
If you are using guide then some simplifications are possible
