plot function not working

Hi, i am trying to plot this simple code but my matlab is not supporting plot function as shown in the error, please help me what to do.

t=0:0.001:0.2;
y=t*2;
plot(t,y);

Warning: Function plot has the same name as a MATLAB builtin. We suggest you rename the function to avoid a potential name conflict.

You have a function or script named PLOT, which shadows the inbuilt PLOT function.

Show us the exact and complete output of this command:

which plot -all

xecution of script plot as a function is not supported:

C:\Users\91999\Documents\MATLAB\plot.m

Please give solution

[Walter Roberson]

Rename C:\Users\91999\Documents\MATLAB\plot.m to some name that is not used by MATLAB.

Execution of script plot as a function is not supported:

D:\MATLAB R2024a\matlab programming\plot.m

@Ramesh: rename your script to something else, e.g. MYPLOT.M

Execution of script plot as a function is not supported:

/MATLAB Drive/plot.m

This appear in my MATLAB online

[Walter Roberson]

You have created a script named plot.m, and you have code that calls plot() . What are you expecting to have happen?

Are you expecting that MATLAB will look and say, "Oh, my current file name is plot but I am calling plot so I should ignore the fact that my current file is named plot and call the function plot " ?? If so then how should MATLAB handle recursion ? For example what if plot.m contained

if ~exist('counter', 'var'); counter = 0; end
counter = counter + 1;
if counter < 10
    plot
end

? Then how would MATLAB tell whether the call to plot inside plot.m is a recursive call to plot.m or is a call to the function plot() ?

You have saved the script containing your code as 'plot.m'. However, that is the same name as the plot function in MATLAB. Give your script a different name (myPlot.m?) and the error will go away.
