Error: Function definition not supported in this context. Create functions in code file.

Hello everyone,

i was traying to wirte a function and i receive every time i tray to call the function this message:

Error: Function definition not supported in this context. Create functions in code file.

i thougt i maybe have some syntax-problems, so i tried wtih this very simple function:

function [x,y] = solo(a,b,c,d)

x= (a*b)+c;

y= (a*d)+b;

end

i also wrote the function in seperate skript, saved it in a file with the same name(solo)

and always call it from the command window as i should do.

i still get this annoying message!! ERROR!!

i have MATLAB R2020b

please help!

thank u very much in advance

How do you call this function? This would be working:

 [x,y] = solo(a,b,c,d) 

Do you include a "function" in this call?

ah in this way it is working now thank u very much.

but why it does not work when i call it in the other way like:

function solo (1,2,3,4)

when i make this i get that error

The keyword "function" is the command to define a function, not to call it.

ok. thanks again
