lottopick(m) Undefined function or variable 'john'.

i have to create a random number generator. i think i got a code that would work but im having issues! when i call on the funciton, ie. lottopick(john),

it starts the function code but immediatley i get error undefined function or variable 'john'.

this is the code i have written thus far

function []=lottopick(name)

lotto = randi(54, [1 6 ]);

lotto=sort(lotto);

fprintf('%s, your lotto picks are %d %d %d %d %d %d \n', name, lotto)

end

You most likely need to enclose the name in single quotes:

lottopick('john'),
