I'm trying to work out a problem with my code. For the assignment, we are recreating our excel solutions from the previous assignment in MATLAB.
The lfm = lf+lm value is what is supposed to be driven towards 0 through newtons method, returning a value of Vdot = 85.41 (ish, more decimals, some rounding, etc are ok). The way it is set up, the main program should set up and call the lfm_Yarberry_v4 function through the Newton2_Yarberry function, returning the answer. Previous attempts usually gave a value of infinite as the return, but the newest version is giving me complex imaginary numbers. Not sure if that's progress or not.
Troubleshooting attempted:
I have a classmates work that actually works, and have confirmed that my Newton2_Yarberry function works correctly. My main program and the lfm_Yarberry function have been organized to be very close to their functional code, but outside of directly copying their work, I am unable to figure out why my code is not working. I have checked every calculation outside of the functions and the returned values are the same returned from my excel sheet.
My best guess is that I have either named a variable something that MATLAB is interpreting as some inbuilt function, or somewhere a variable is not being properly called or referenced, but for the life of me I cannot figure it out.
Please assist.
