Each number on telephone keypads, except 0 and 1, corresponds to a set of uppercase letters as shown in this list: 2 ABC, 3 DEF, 4 GHI, 5 JKL, 6 MNO, 7 PQRS, 8 TUV, 9 WXYZ Hence, a phone-number specification can include uppercase letters and digits.

I can not quite figure out why my code does not perform. I keep getting syntax errors that dont make sense to me. Such as "parse errors"

function [telephone] = dial(up)
characters = '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
numbers = '012345678922233344455566677778889999';
[boolean,coords] = ismember(up,characters);
telephone = sscanf(numbers(coords), '%lu');
for i = 1 : sizeof(up)
if boolean(i) = 0
telephone = [];
end
end
end

Firstly sizeof isn't a function (on my MATLAB setup) so I changed to size. Also, use == to check equality of numbers.
for i = 1 : size(up)
if boolean(i) == 0
telephone = [];
end
end

When a character is not found in characters() then coords(i) will be 0. numbers(0) will return an error because there is no zeroth element.
