User Defined Functions calling

Hello experts,

Am creating a user defined function, like the below with a file name as (myfunc.m)

function outcome = myfunc(x, a, b, c)

outcome = 2*(x.^2) + 3*x + a + b + c ;

end

Calling it in the another program with file name Prog1.m

for n = 1:5

x = n*0.1;

z = myfunc(x,2,3,7);

fprintf('x = %4.2f f(x) = %8.4f \r',x,z)

end

Am using the latest version of MATLAB, 2020, would like to know if any errors or modification needed in the code to correct it.

\n instead of \r

Your code should work - provided "myfunc" is in the search path. But why don't you just try it? Am I missing someting?

What is the error?

[Hariharan Sundaram]

We get the below as an error

>> prog1

Error: File: myfunc.m Line: 3 Column: 20

Local function name must be different from the script name.Error in prog1 (line 7)

z = myfunc(x,2,3,7);

Is it because both the scripts (function myfunc & calling prog1) are in same folder?
