Hello,

I was running a command

And Matlab returns an error: Undefined function 'sym' for input arguments of type 'char'

It didn't happen before. And I'm using a student version. Any suggestion? Thanks alot.

‘It didn’t happen before’ on the same computer or a different computer?

To see what Toolboxes you have installed, in the Command Window, type:

ver

If you have the Symbolic Math Toolbox installed, it should be listed.

If it is, and you’re still getting the error, type these commands in the Command Window:

restoredefaultpath
rehash toolboxcache

If that doesn’t work, contact MathWorks Technical Support.

Hey I observed that I can't run this commands in online matlab, is there any other way?

I kinda have to use online matlab rn for my hackathon.

@Sakshi — You shouldn’t need to run these:

restoredefaultpath

rehash toolboxcache

in MATLAB Online. If you’re having problems with MATLAB Online, Contact Support and tell them you’re having a problem with it.

You should have access to the Symbolic Math Toolbox in MATLAB Online if you have it licensed and installed on your personal computer. (I don’t know how this works with university licenses, if that’s what you have. You’ll have to ask your administrator about that.)

Thanks. I am not able to check it now. You are right that I am using a different computer. If I don't have the toolbox how do I install one?

That suggests that you don't have Symbolic Math Toolbox installed, you don't have it in your license, or all the licenses for it are currently checked out. To check the first look at the output of ver. To check the latter two you may need to contact your license administrator.

If you don't have it installed but you have a license for it, use Add-On Explorer to install it.

If you don't have it in your license, buy it.

If you have it installed and licensed but it's still not working, please show the full and exact text of any error and/or warning message you receive (all the text displayed in red or orange in the Command Window) when you try to use it.

From time to time it means that you have a corrupted Symbolic Toolbox and need to reinstall.

Also if some symbolic functions work but not others then sometimes the problem has to do with having the Maplesoft "MATLAB Connector" installed to communicate with the Maple software package.
