Unrecognized function or variable

The error I get is as follows. I don't know how to fix this problem. Thank you in advance for your help.

FIXED!!
You must add this code to your editor, in this way you call unit() function.
function y = unit(x)
y = zeros(size(x));
y(x>0) = 1
end

@SALINI BALASUBARAMANIUM , not sure how your code fixes the "Unrecognized function or variable" error that was mentioned in this year-old question where the user was tring to implement the Heaviside step function. Did you post it here by mistake?

To my knowledge, there it no MATLAB function named unit().
I also used the search bar in the documentation, and did not find anything.
Where did you get this code? Maybe you are missing a second file, that has a user-defined function with that name?

I got it from the codes that the university professor explained in the lecture. I mean, this code is entirely the of the professor. Could something be caused by license invalid?
So I guess it's solved now since you accepted this answer? Was the solution to use uint32() like I suggested in my answer below?
Thank you for your attenton. I fixed the problem with unusually way. I show the solution top side.

Why did you think it knows what unit is? It does not.
If, by chance, you want to convert to integer use uint32() instead of unit(). Be careful of the location of the "i" and the "n".

I did what you said but I still get an error.
There is no property 'Linewidith', like it says. Watch your spelling again. You have 3 i's instead of 2. It should be 'LineWidth'.

Good Nitght.
Can you help me please.
Unrecognized function or variable 'distinguishable_colors'.
Error in drawPR (line 8)
methods_colors = distinguishable_colors(length(methods));

This is in no way an answer to @Kutlu Yigitturk. Please post your code in a new question after you read this link:
All I can say until then is what the error said, and that is that you never defined distinguishable_colors at all so your program has no idea what it is or should be. Only you know that but you have to tell your program that.
It worked, thank you!
