why iam i getting the error the illegal use of the end?

 Q=imread('r6.jpg');
imginp=double(reshape(Q,64,1));
disp (' ');
disp ('Simulating SOM neural network for the input image...');
disp (' ');
msx=sim(net,imginp)
msxm=find(msx);
%classification and displaying output
disp (' ');
disp ('Classifying the subject in input image with the matched image in the training database...');
disp (' ');
ans=find((sm - msxm)==min(abs((sm-msxm))));
if (ans > 0) & (ans <= 5)
disp('Subject is identified to be: rock');
else if (ans > 5) & (ans <= 10)
disp('Subject is identified to be: hulk');
else if (ans > 10) & (ans <= 15)
disp('Subject is identified to be: bob');
else if (ans > 15) & (ans <= 20)
disp('Subject is identified to be: banda');
else
disp('Subject is not identified in the training database.');
    end
    end
    end
    end
when i try to execute it iam getting the following error y this is happening?

Illegal use of reserved keyword "end".

u mean to say only one end is required for my above code?

[the cyclist]

Yes. And also use "elseif", not "else if".

[uday]

yes yes thank you got it.......

Answer 1

[the cyclist]

The correct syntax for an if statement is

>> if condition
>>  <statements>
>> elseif condition2 % notice no space between else and if
>>  <more statements>
>> end

You don't need multiple ends for the elseif statements.

thank u..in my code of face recognition the input image is to be taken from a digital camera of 2 megapixel(1600*1200)..but,after taking an image from the camera i have edited it and made to 1200*1200 only to concentrate on the face of the object..does it vary in a face recognition process

If this is another question, I don't understand what you are asking.

I suggest you open a new question and provide a little more detail.

Illegal use of reserved keyword "end".

[Walter Roberson]

Is this referring to the code that was posted in the original question? If so then the cause is already described above: too many "end" statements.

[Steven Lord]

If that's the error message exactly as MATLAB displayed it, I'm mildly surprised. MATLAB function names must start with a letter, not a number. I would have expected MATLAB to complain about that before trying to parse the file and noticing an extra end.
