Why this code does not run?

Hi, I am trying to learn how to solve PDEs. Here is the example from MatLab itself. But it did not run. I dont know what is missing . Anyone can help? thanks Ming
[Edit SCd: code formatting]
function [c,f,s] = pdex1pde(x,t,u,DuDx)
c = pi^2;
f = DuDx;
s = 0;
function u0 = pdex1ic(x)
u0 = sin(pi*x);
function [pl,ql,pr,qr] = pdex1bc(xl,ul,xr,ur,t)
pl = ul;
ql = 0;
pr = pi * exp(-t);
qr = 1;
x = linspace(0,1,20);
t = linspace(0,2,5);
m = 0;
sol = pdepe(m,@pdex1pde,@pdex1ic,@pdex1bc,x,t);
u = sol(:,:,1);
surf(x,t,u)

"It did not run" dows not contain enough information to understand the cause of the problem. Do you get an error message? How do you cal the function?
thank for comment. The error message was:
Input argument "DuDx" is undefined.
Error in ==> pdex1pde at 3
f = DuDx;
Thanks
That does sound odd.
I would put a breakpoint in that routine at the first line, and would check to see what parameters did get passed and their sizes.

"function [c,f,s] = pdex1pde(x,t,u,DuDx)" means, that you have to call the function pdex1pde with 4 input arguments. Did you call it manually without inputs?
Hi, Just enter
>> pdex1
at the command prompt, that will run the demo.

yes, that can run the demo, but I want to know the code.

Where you have written
function [pl,ql,pr,qr] = pdex1bc(xl,ul,xr,ur,t)
pl = ul;
ql = 0;
pr = pi * exp(-t);
qr = 1;
x = linspace(0,1,20);
t = linspace(0,2,5);
m = 0;
sol = pdepe(m,@pdex1pde,@pdex1ic,@pdex1bc,x,t);
u = sol(:,:,1);
surf(x,t,u)
You need to break this up in to two parts:
function [pl,ql,pr,qr] = pdex1bc(xl,ul,xr,ur,t)
pl = ul;
ql = 0;
pr = pi * exp(-t);
qr = 1;
function sol = runpde
x = linspace(0,1,20);
t = linspace(0,2,5);
m = 0;
sol = pdepe(m,@pdex1pde,@pdex1ic,@pdex1bc,x,t);
u = sol(:,:,1);
surf(x,t,u)
and that new function needs to go first in the file if you are putting all of the routines in the same file.
