My function was working fine until I typed in clear all. Now it does not work.
I get this error message: Function 'get_portfolio_return' has already been declared within this scope.
This is my function code:
function [E_Rp, sigma_Rp] = get_portfolio_return( weight,exp_rets, vols,corr)
E_Rp= weight.* exp_rets(1,1)+ (1-weight).*exp_rets(1,2);
sigma_Rp= sqrt((weight.^2.*vols(1).^2) + ((1-weight).^2.*vols(2).^2)+(2.*corr.*(weight)).*(1-weight).*vols(1).*vols(2));
end
% The stated function defines the necessary variables for subsequent
% calculations. Expected Return is calculated as a function of weight and
% expected returns. Weight is the weight of Asset1 and exp_rets are the
% expected returns of asset 1 and asset 2.
What caused this problem/ how do I fix it?

Did you save this as a function file separate from your main script file, or did you put it at the bottom of your script as a local function? Did you do both? How are you calling it?

Okay, so the problem was the function name was different from what I assigned it. I did not realize the name I saved it as has to match the part after function []=

The rule is that if there is a difference between the file name and the name of the first function in the file, then in order to call the function, you need to use the file name.

When define user function in MATLAB programming then you will need the following format.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
function (Dependent Variables1, 2, 3, ...) = FunctionName(Independent Variables1, 2, 3, ...)
body of function
end
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
so, when you save this file then you have to use this file on the name same as the name of the function. Otherwise, the function will not work.
Example:
FunctionName.m

My first function name and the file name are the same yet I still get this error? I don't understand how to bypass it?

What is the first executable word in the file? The very first thing that is not a comment?

I got this error because I declared the same function name twice.
