Matlab function errors while using loop

[adeeyo]

Hi,

Please assist,

I write this MATLAB function and receive the error below

function f=myfunn(z,x,K,L1,L2,phi)
for c=1:3
f=z(c)-(x(2,c).*K(c).*L1)-(x(1,c).*phi(2,c).*L2)./phi(1,c);
end

function f=myfunn(z,x,K,L1,L2,phi)
|
Error: Function definitions are not permitted in this context.

Please assist me on how to go about it.

Thanks
adeeyo

To define your own functions you must save them in .m files, not just type them into the command line.

To create a new function, go to File -> New -> Function and you will get a shell for a new function. If you want to start completely from scratch, you can go to File -> New -> Script.

Once you've done that, write your function and save it (the praxis is to name the .m file the same as the function inside, i.e. yours would be myfunn.m) and you will be able to call it from the command line (or scripts, or other functions) by calling it as you would any other function in MATLAB.
