I don't understand this error. "Function definitions in a script must appear at the end of the file."

I added a couple of attachments of what I am supposed to do for my MATLAB but I can;t figure out what to do.

I understand that you are facing an error " Function definitions in a script must appear at the end of the file."

If you are going to have a function in the same file as a script, the function definition must go at the bottom of the file.

You cannot use the structure

some script
function
some more script

It need to be like this

some script
some more script
function

The %% sections are not treated separately: the restrictions apply to the entire file, that if you have a mix of function and script then the function must go at the bottom.

The odd thing was that their posted code did not have any "function" statements

Because the whole script file hasn't been shared, the screenshot could deduce us to assume only a part of the script file is shared. If the error still exists, we can work on the issue further once the whole file is shared.
