Too many output error message when using function in a for loop

I am getting the "too many output arguments" error message when calling on a function that's within a for loop. heres my code.

function RFtable(lowerm2bound, upperm2bound, m2step, gamma, m_1);

n=(upperm2bound-lowerm2bound)/m2step;

m2values=linspace(lowerm2bound,upperm2bound,n)

for i=1:n+1
    poverpstar(i)= RFp2overp1(gamma,m_1,m2values(i)) 
end
end

I stepped though the script and the error is occurring within the for loop. here's the code for the RFp2overp1 function.

function RFp2overp1(gamma,m_1,m_2)
  (1+gamma*m_1^2)/(1+gamma*m_2^2)
  end

Any advice would be great I think its something pretty simple.

Hi @Brian Hom,

The error occurs because the function ‘RFp2overp1’ does not return a value, but the following line in your code expects it to do so:

poverpstar(i)= RFp2overp1(gamma, m_1,m2values(i))

You can modify ‘RFp2overp1’ to include an output argument, which should fix this error.

function res = RFp2overp1(gamma, m_1,m_2)
    res = (1+gamma*m_1^2)/(1+gamma*m_2^2)
end

Thanks!
