Newbie keeps getting "invalid call to script" error

[Faraz Hussain]

I created a simple file called BasicClass.m but when I run from the command prompt, I get:
octave:3> a=BasicClasserror: invalid call to script /home/hussaif1/octave/BasicClass.m
The BasicClass.m file  is in the same folder as where I launch octave. It contains this code:
classdef BasicClass   properties      Value   end   methods      function r = roundOff(obj)         r = round([obj.Value],2);      end      function r = multiplyBy(obj,n)         r = [obj.Value] * n;      end   endend

It works for me in version 4.2.1.
