I wrote code similar to that posted by FeliceM, but when I tried to include the recommended changes/additions I got the following error:
Warning: File: odd_index.m Line: 5 Column: 18
Function with duplicate name "odd_index" cannot be called.
Here's my code:
function odd_index
M=[1:5; 6:10; 11:15; 16:20; 21:25];
M=M(1:2:end, 1:2:end);
end
function M_out = odd_index(M)
M_out = M(1:2:end, 1:2:end);
end
Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong.
It appears to be simply a problem of naming your two functions the same name. Rename the second function (and make sure it's in a separate file with the same name as itself). Really, the first one isn't a function at all, but appears to be a script.
You may want to refer to the MATLAB Getting Started help documentation for more information on functions and scripts. http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/getting-started-with-matlab.html

I have a custom function I have made, which requires two input arguments. This is the opening line of the function, clearly showing it needs just two input arugments:
function [file,frame,vertices,edges,faces,faceOrders,edgeOrders] = FOLD_reader(filename,rundocfolder)
The FOLD_reader function is called within another function (FEAfromFOLDVaryingStiffness), using the following line of code:
[~,frame,vertices,~,faces,~,~] = FOLD_reader(filename,rundocfolder);
To which matlab claims:
Not enough input arguments.
Error in FEAfromFOLDVaryingStiffness (line 12)
[~,frame,vertices,~,faces,~,~] = FOLD_reader(filename,rundocfolder);"
However, if I copy and paste the offending line into the command window, it works perfectly. The filename and rundocfolder variables are definitely defined in FEAFromFoldVaryingStiffness which calls FOLD_reader, as they are among the input arguments of the FEAFromFold(etc) function itself.
Has anyone had any experience with this seemingly bizzarre error? To me it makes no sense at all.
If it's a help here are the lines up to the error point inside FEAfromFOLDVaryingStiffness:
function [] = FEAfromFOLDVaryingStiffness(filename,meshsize,displacement,m,n,stiffnessvary,rundocfolder)
%Comments ommitted for brevity
[~,frame,vertices,~,faces,~,~] = FOLD_reader(filename,rundocfolder);
I'm an idiot, I called the FEAfromFOLDVaryingStiffness with one too few arguments, I'd left out m or n or something and so the last input variable (rundocfolder) was undefined, which showed up as an error with fold_reader inside the FEAfromFOLDVaryingStiffness function, instead of where the error actually was: the top level script.
I have created this function :
function Calcul_Constantes ( xBin1 , xTin1 , xHin1 )
% computes global variables that change depending on the circumstances
global v rhoc K1v K2v xBin xTin xHin cBin cTin cHin;
xBin=xBin1;
xTin=xTin1;
xHin=xHin1;
rhoc = 0.02777*(2.106*xHin+78.12*xBin)*(6.935*xHin+23.15*xBin);
K1v=0.6*rhoc/175;
K2v=(2.70803*10^-4+7.5*10^-4*v*rhoc)/175;
cBin=0.02777*xBin;
cTin=0.02777*xTin;
cHin=0.02777*xHin;
end
and when I do test in my main script :
Calcul_Constantes(0,0,1);
xBin
xHin
the following error occures:
Error using Calcul_Constantes
Too many input arguments.
Error in Mercredi15_main (line 48)
Calcul_Constantes(0,0,1);
I'd be grateful for any help, I really can't see what does not work
Probably there is another Calcul_Constantes function somewhere else. You might have saved another version of Calcul_Constantes function somewhere.
In command line type :
which Calcul_Constantes
and check if the return directory and .m file is the which you are trying to use. Rename or delete the wrong function.
I have a code in matlab (~1000 lines) that constists of about 15 functions. The code runs fine with each function as a different script, but I want to put them all into one file so I can use the publish function more easily. However, when I put them all together my 'main' function isn't recognizing the local functions. Here's what it looks like:
function full_function()
...
values = fvalues(0);
...
end
function values = fvalues(state)
...
end
When I try to run it, it gives me
"Undefined function 'fvalues' for input arguments
of type 'double'.
Error in full_function (line 32)
values = fvalues(0);"
I've looked all over for how to do local functions and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. If I right-click on fvalues and hit 'open' it even brings me to the correct portion of the code, so I have no idea why full_function cannot read it. Please help! Thanks.
I need to make a radar plot, I googled it and got this: http://www.mathworks.co.uk/matlabcentral/fileexchange/33134-radar-plot/content/radarPlot.m
but it gives an error I'm not sure how to solve.
The error is Error: File: radarplottest.m Line: 17 Column: 1
Function definitions are not permitted in this context.
Any tips?
Did you copy the function and paste it into a script file you were working on?
If you did something like add your own code at the top of the file (say, to load data), that will give you the error you're seeing. You should have one file, "radarPlot.m", which contains this function, and then "radarplottest.m" could be something like a script containing data loading/pre-processing and then calling the radarPlot function on the appropriate data.
All you need in radarplottest.m is something like:
Data = % define some random test data or load some existing data
radarPlot(Data); % requires radarPlot.m to be on your path so Matlab can find it
I am getting an error when running matlab code. Here I am trying to use one of the outputs of previous code as input to my new code.
??? Reference to non-existent field 'y1'.
Can anyone help me?
A good practice might be to check if the field exists before accessing it:
if isfield( s, 'y1' )
% s.y1 exists - you may access it
s.y1
else
% s.y1 does not exist - what are you going to do about it?
end
To take Edric's comment into account, another possible way is
try
% access y1
s.y1
catch em
% verify that the error indeed stems from non-existant field
if strcmp(em.identifier, 'MATLAB:nonExistentField')
fprintf(1, 'field y1 does not exist...\n');
else
throw( em ); % different error - handle by caller?
end
end
Have you used the command load to load data from file(s)?
if yes, this function overwrite your current variables, therefore, they become non-existent, so when you call, it instead of using:
load ('filename');
use:
f=load ('filename');
now, to refer to any variable inside the loaded file use f.varname, for
example if there is a network called net saved within the loaded data you may use it like:
a = f.net(fv);
I would first explain my situation and then give the solution.
I first save a variable op, it is a struct , its name is coef.mat;
I load this variable using coef = load( file_path, '-mat');
In a new function, I pass variable coef to it as a parameter, at here, the error Reference to non-existent field pops out.
My solution:
Just replace coef with coef.op, then pass it to the function, it will work.
So, I think the reason behind is that: the struct was saved as a variable, when you use load and want to acess the origin variable, you need point it out directly using dot(.) operation, you can directly open the variable in Matlab workspace and find out what it wraps inside the variable.
In your case, if your the outputs of previous code is a struct(It's my guess, but you haven't pointed out) and you saved it as MyStruct, you load it as MyInput = load(MyStruct), then when use it as function's parameter, it should be MyInput.y1.
Hops it would work!
At first load it on command window and observe the workspace window. You can see the structure name. It will work by accessing structure name. Example:
lm=load('data.mat');
disp(lm.SAMPLE.X);
Here SAMPLE is the structure name and X is a member of the structure
