Why is my matlab showing this error?

I am able to run my code here but not in my matlab program.

Can anyone help?

Qn: Why am I unable to run my code in my program but I am able to run my code here?

[Image Analyst]

which crand

/MATLAB/toolbox/robust/rctutil/crand.m

Do you have that toolbox? What toolboxes are listed when you do "ver"?

[Alvin Ang]

Oh I understand now, i have to install the toolbox. Thank you.

oh I missed that one, it isn't documented! https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/495798-why-can-t-i-use-crand-in-matlab#answer_405656

Just come across this. A bit slow news. But randn supports generating complex number since R2022a.
