error: Value on right hand side of assignment is undefined

[M***@weirminerals.com]

Hi Guys

Please refer to the below code. This is simplified case of what I am
using, just to demonstrate my issue.

Once complied, the functions are available to be used in the command
window.

"Function B" however does not work, as it gives the error "error: Value on
right hand side of assignment is undefined"

Can someone please assist? I do not understand why the error is occurring.




Kind regards

What I see is that you have a function called B and a variable called B
This is not good!
give them different names and start again and it should work.

Your function A doesn't have a return value. Also you should use a variable
that has the same name as the function it is in. Even if it isn't a syntax
error, it might be confusing.

Try something like:

function val = A(x, y)
val = x + y;
endfunction

Sorry. That should read: "... you should *not* use a variable that has the
same name as the function it is used in."
