Ackley's Function (a=20,b=0.2) d=2.
function [ y ] = objfun14 (phen )
d=size(phen,2);
v=cos(2*pi*phen); x=(1/d)* sum(v,2);
t=-20*exp(-0.2*sqrt((1/d)*sum(phen.^2,2))) - exp( x ) +20+exp(1);
y=sum(t,2);
end
%when phen=[0 0] the output should be t=0 however excuting the code gives t=8.8818e-16

t=8.8818e-16 is pretty close to zero. You are dealing with floating point arithmetic, that's why the result is not exactly what you expect. See Floating-Point Numbers for further details.

Try using 'format long', which shows 15 decimal places. If it still doesn't work, then your value is probably smaller than what many call 'machine epsilon' and hence is getting rounded to zero.
