what is wrong with this code?

when i run this code it said that Input argument "X" is undefined.

Error in ==> sudoku at 10 [C,s,e] = candidates(X);

how to fix this error?

How did you run your code?

You should not run the code, in windows command type this

X=10
Y = sudoku(X)

[lotus]

I typed that already and it gave me this:

Attempted to access X(2,1); index out of bounds because numel(X)=1.

Error in ==> sudoku>candidates at 38

             if X(i,j)==0

Error in ==> sudoku at 10 [C,s,e] = candidates(X);

What should bee your input X ? I 've just given an example

[lotus]

got it.thank you for all the helps.
