Function giving incorrect answer

Hi, new to matlab and I was following through a guide and got to the functions section but I have a problem. Its a very basic function to add two numbers together:
function add (x,y)
x+y
end
In the command window I enter "add 5 3" to which it gives
>> add 5 3
ans =
104
Are there any settings I need to change or something??
I think it is something to do with the variables since addition without the function works perfectly
>> 3+5
ans =
8

It was almost correct; you just forgot to assign the result to an output argument (that I named "result" below, but you are free to choose whichever valid variable name you want):
function result = add(x, y)
result = x + y ;
end
Then you have to call it as follows in the command line:
>> add(5, 3)

Still have the exact same problem - gives the answer as 104 when it obviously isnt!
Thank you very much :)
