Undefined function or variable "sum".
显示 更早的评论
I have the following code:
function outdata=pixelate(fname)
imdata=rgb2gray(imread(fname));
outdata=zeros(size(imdata))+255;
for i=1:size(imdata,1)
indi=[i-1 i i+1];
indi(indi<=0)=[];
indi(indi>size(imdata,1))=[];
isum=sum(indi,:);
isize=length(indi);
for j=1:size(imdata,2)
indj=[i-1 i i+1];
indj(indj<=0)=[];
indj(indj>size(imdata,1))=[];
jsize=length(indj);
avg=sum(isum(indj))/(isize*jsize);
if avg<255*0.5
outdata(i,j)=0;
end
end
end
end
The code analyzer generates a warning on line 8 saying 'The variable 'sum' might be used before it is defined.' The when I run the code I get the following:
Undefined function or variable "sum".
Error in pixelate (line 10)
isum=sum(indi,:);
After a little googling, I tried the following while in debug mode (stopped at line 8):

I have tried restarting matlab. I have also tried copying the code and pasting it to a new file. I have not tried restarting the computer, though I will do that when it will not hurt too much.

check the syntax of the sum() function
Syntax
B = sum(A)
B = sum(A,dim)
B = sum(..., 'double')
B = sum(..., dim,'double')
B = sum(..., 'native')
B = sum(..., dim,'native')
Your statement isum=sum(indi,:) is invalid. Maybe you mean isum=sum(indi(:));

The error is a symptom of the, often annoying, similar syntax for calling a function or indexing into a variable, using parenthesis.
Matlab tries to be intelligent and sees the indexing syntax and thus assumes 'sum' is intended as a variable rather than the function, which is why the error occurs and with the wording it has - the variable 'sum' does indeed not exist to be indexed into.
But yes, it is certainly one of those errors that can be very confusing when you aren't used to it or expecting it (and indeed, are we ever expecting such errors?!)

Someone code "sum" as a variavle. I rename the var, and it works well.

isum=sum(indi,:);
is not valid syntax for the builtin sum function as far as I am aware.
It is a syntax that would be consistent with 'sum' representing a matrix variable which, of course, is undefined, hence the error.
