I'm trying to call a function out of a script, it's a simple one as we've just started, but I keep getting an error on my fprintf line. Theoretically its supposed to work through different files where one is the function and one is the script whilst both are in the same directory.

This is the function:

function [out]=summation(N)
S=0;
for k=1:N
    S=S+(1/k^2);
end
out=S;
end

This is the script

fid = fopen('summationfile.txt', 'w');
for i=1:50
    sumvalue=summation(i);
    fprintf(fid,'N= %.0f \t S= %.4f \r\n',i,sumvalue);
end
fclose(fid)

Initially I was getting an error about just one line but figured its because the files are separate and if I can get them to work locally moving them to different files wont be as difficult so at the moment they are in the same file and this is the error I receive.

Error using fprintf
Invalid file identifier. Use fopen to generate a valid file identifier.
Error in summationfile (line 5)
    fprintf(fid,'N= %.0f \t S= %.4f \r\n',i,sumvalue);

在 MATLAB Online 中打开

Change

fid = fopen('summationfile.txt', 'w');

to

filename = 'summationfile.txt';
[fid, msg] = fopen(filename, 'w');
if fid < 0
  error('Failed to open file "%s" because "%s"', filename, msg);
end

Yeah it works when i run matlab as admin, how would I go about changing the directory for matlab though so I dont have to run it as admin again? I always assumed when running adding the directory to the path did it for me but obviously thats not the case.

When you are writing files, MATLAB always assumes that you want to write into your current directory unless you give the path to where you want to write. So the easiest is to use cd to change directories to a directory that you do your MATLAB work in.
