MATLAB error message "This statement is not included in any function."
I am trying to define a simple function and then call it:
function p=MyExp(N);
p=[ 1 ]; % 0th order polynomial.
for k=1:N
pk=1/(factorial(k));
p=[pk,1];
end
end
poly3=MyExp(3);
disp (poly3)
MATLAB returns the message: Error: File: matlab_labIII_3_I.m Line: 10 Column: 1 This statement is not inside any function. (It follows the END, which ends the definition of the "MyExp" function.)
This script works well on OCTAVE!
thank

If you are using functions in Matlab script, you must have all the code inside functions (functions), of which there can be more than one. Similar products (Octave and Scilab) do not have this limitation.
There's a simple way out with minimal code change: wrap the non-functional code in a function and call that. The main function must first appear in the script.
function MyProgram()
poly3=MyExp(3);
disp (poly3)
end
function p=MyExp(N);
p=[ 1 ]; % 0th order polynomial.
for k=1:N
pk=1/(factorial(k));
p=[pk,1];
end
end
Also, when you use functions, Matlab expects your file name to match the name of the function being called. So the file should be named MyProgram.m
(or whatever your main function is named).
