Please give me the correction..

This expression:

 sigma=[{0.307*(c_n)^2}*{(2*3.1416/lamda)^1.17}*{L^(1.833)}]-[{0.742*(c_n)^2}*{(2*23.1416/lamda)^0.17}*{(L^2.833)*(L_0^2)}]

is not proper Matlab syntax. The {} brackers denote cells. You cannot use them as delimiters for order of operations. The same is true of [] which have particular meaning. You probably want this instead:

 sigma=((0.307*(c_n)^2)*((2*3.1416/lamda)^1.17)*(L^(1.833)))-((0.742*(c_n)^2)*((2*23.1416/lamda)^0.17)*((L^2.833)*(L_0^2)))

However, I strongly advise you to read up on the basic syntax of the language you're using. This is a really fundamental mistake, and if you don't understand this you'll run into error after error. You wouldn't try and program in Java or C++ by guessing at what the different commands mean, so why would you code in Matlab without looking up how to write expressions?

Try this getting started link before coding any further.

Oh, you would be astonished how many people program C++ by guessing at what the different commands mean. 15 years ago, the documentation for the C++ Standard Library was already effectively too big to read, so people mostly don't read it.
