Not sure what's wrong with my code

Having trouble calling the function altidense,
Whenever i try calling the function with the command "altidense(1500) i get a "Undefined function 'altidens' for input arguments of type 'double'"
I've been tearing my hair out because the code in the function itself is fine i tried by just inputting altitude directly and it worked fine. Its just when i call it as a function that makes the code fail.
Thanks
AltVsDens = readmatrix('Rho_ISA.csv');
altidense(1500)
%function to find air density from Rho_ISA.csv
%takes altitude and extracts air density from neighbouring cell
function airp = altidense(Altitude)
cell = (Altitude/500)+1;
airp = AltVsDens(cell,2)
end
%function to calculate true airspeed
%where m = mass, p = air density, s = wing area, Cl = coefficient of lift
function V = truspeed(m,p,s,Cl)
V = sqrt((2*m*9.81)/(p*s*Cl))
end

You can't call a variable that is not part of a function in a function.
I would suggest adding your AltVsDens variable as an input to your function.
AltVsDens = readmatrix('Rho_ISA.csv');
altidense(1500,AltVsDens)
%function to find air density from Rho_ISA.csv
%takes altitude and extracts air density from neighbouring cell
function airp = altidense(Altitude,data)
cell = (Altitude/500)+1;
airp = data(cell,2)
end
Thanks,
Do you know where i can read up more on this? because i dont fully understand why and how this works.
It boils down to variable scope. Consider the following links

The providing of variables as inputs and outputs as well as sharing the data using nested cells is explained in the free online tutorial: https://www.mathworks.com/learn/tutorials/matlab-onramp.html
