how to continue program with fzero error

Hi,
I am using fzero to solve a nonlinear univariate function. However, I am iterating over many parameter values. So, if fzero can't find a root for one set of parameters, that is fine, but I want it to continue to the next set. However, I keep getting the error
??? Error using ==> fzero at 293 The function values at the interval endpoints must differ in sign.
Can anyone tell me the proper way to handle this? Should I go into the function, comment out the error and put a default output, or is there a better way to do this. Thanks.
All the best, Bob

Use a TRY-CATCH block. I'll assume you are looping over the parameter set and storing the roots in a variable S.
cnt = 1;
for ii = PARAMS
try
T = fzero(...);
cnt = cnt + 1;
S(cnt) = T; % If FZERO errors, this assignment won't happen.
catch
fprintf('No root found for parameter %f\n',ii); %optioinal
end
end

Voted: Catching an error is more general than avoiding it.
Great! This is what I was looking for. Thanks a lot.

Try-catch will certainly work, but I wonder why you don't just do the two endpoint evaluations yourself and skip the fzero call if the signs are the same?

Voted. Avoiding an error is superior to catching it.
True. Thanks. I will do this as well. Much appreciated
