? Undefined function or variable 'x'.

In summary, the error message "Undefined function or variable 'x'" indicates that there is an attempt to use a function or variable called 'x' that has not been defined or declared. This can be fixed by defining or declaring 'x' before using it in the code. Possible reasons for this error include typos, missing code, or incorrect scope. Misspelling a variable name can also cause this error. There is a difference between an "Undefined function 'x'" and "Undefined variable 'x'" error, with the former referring to a function that has not been defined and the latter referring to a variable that has not been declared or assigned a value. Both types of errors can be resolved by properly defining or declaring the function or

? Undefined function or variable 'x'.

function [ f, f1] = funyder( z )
%funcion y primera derivada del primer ejercicio
f=1-1/(1-x+2*z^2)
f1=(4*z-1)/(1-z+2*z^2)^2

this doesn't work .
Thanks

Welcome to PhysicsForums. Note the bolded bits above!
 

1. What does the error message "Undefined function or variable 'x'" mean?

The error message "Undefined function or variable 'x'" means that the code is trying to use a function or variable called 'x' that has not been defined or declared yet. This could be due to a typo, missing code, or incorrect scope.

2. How can I fix the "Undefined function or variable 'x'" error?

To fix this error, you will need to define or declare the function or variable 'x' before using it in your code. This could involve creating a function with the name 'x', assigning a value to a variable named 'x', or ensuring the scope of 'x' is correct.

3. Why am I getting an "Undefined function or variable 'x'" error?

There are several possible reasons for this error, such as a typo in the code, forgetting to declare or define 'x', or using 'x' outside of its scope. It is important to carefully check your code and ensure that all functions and variables are properly defined and used.

4. Can a misspelled variable name cause an "Undefined function or variable 'x'" error?

Yes, a misspelled variable name can cause this error. If you misspell a variable name, the code will try to use a variable that does not exist, resulting in the "Undefined function or variable 'x'" error. It is important to pay attention to spelling and naming conventions when writing code.

5. Is there a difference between an "Undefined function 'x'" and "Undefined variable 'x'" error?

Yes, there is a difference between these two types of errors. An "Undefined function 'x'" error means that the code is trying to call a function named 'x' that has not been defined, while an "Undefined variable 'x'" error means that the code is trying to use a variable named 'x' that has not been declared or assigned a value. Both errors can be fixed by properly defining or declaring the function or variable in question.
