Hello everybody,
I'm a new member of this community. I'd appreciate your help for a problem that I'm having with a little, silly function whom I type the code here.
function [val_min, pos_min] = comparison1(Isole_mat,Elhierro_mat)
[r,c]=size(Isole_mat);
for i = 1:r
latP = Isole_mat(i,2);
lonP = Isole_mat(i,3);
diffLat = latP - Elhierro_mat(:,2);
diffLon = lonP - Elhierro_mat(:,3);
distanza(:,i) = diffLat.^2+diffLon.^2;
%[dmin, I] = min(distanza(:));
end
[val_min, pos_min] = min(distanza);
What's wrong with it? Why do I get always the error message | Error: Function definitions are not permitted at the prompt or in scripts.
I saved the function in a m.file within the same name...
Please, help me understand.
Thank you in advance!

With the name I gave her: comparison1
That's also the name I used to save the m file. I already used this function and as far as I remember it worked... Maybe I'm calling it in the editor in the wrong way?

Please check that in your comparison1.m file, that the only lines before the "function" line, are comment lines and blank lines.

Do you have more than one m-file with the name, comparison1? Check with
which comparison1 -all
Is
function [val_min, pos_min] = comparison1(Isole_mat,Elhierro_mat)
.
the first line in the m-file? And is
end
.
the last line of the m-file? The "end", which match "function" is optional, but I think it makes the function easier to read.
The Code Analyzer box (or mlint-box) at the right top of the editor is it green or at least not red?

I have just one file named comparison1.
In the first line I have some comments lines and blank lines, and in the last lines there are the outputs values:
[val_min, pos_min] = min(distanza);
The box is orange, but this was a problem I already had; anyway it is due to the letter "c" in this statement:
[r,c]=size(Isole_mat);
because "the value assigned might never be used", and to the following line:
distanza(:,i) = diffLat.^2+diffLon.^2;
because "it might be growing inside a loop. Consider preallocating for speed."

A silly silly mistake... I was trying to call the function in the wrong way, forgetting that the variables aren't general but local...
Thank you all for your kind help!
