matlab syntax (parentheses and functions)

Does anyone see anything wrong with the MATLAB syntax? k are variables for the loops I created in my main program.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. I am running a 5000 iteration loop, but the syntax is troubling me. Thanks.

I'll delete that one and keep this one since the answer is here.

I answered the other one.

I deleted that answer (essentially the same as James Tursa’s) since the question was repeated and another answer was accepted.

Very Sorry! I must not have noticed your answer. But I am voting for most of your posts as consolation prize.

I deleted my answer to the previous question as soon as I saw this one and verified that the question was essentially the same. That question and my answer were still up at the time I looked it up to verify it, then I deleted my answer as redundant.

I sort of wish there were negative reputation points or something for duplicate posts or new posts rather than following up threads of previous posts. I believe we’ve all been burned by that practice at least once.

Thanks!

You can delete this comment as well if you wish, since it’s just my frustrated rant!

Your function signature should have whole variable names, not subscripted names. That is, you might be passing in PQMatx(k,1) and PQMatx(k,2) in the calling routine, but in the function itself you shouldn't have subscripts here. You should have unique names like PQMatx1 and PQMatx2 (or whatever you want), but no subscripts in the argument list itself.

And the semicolon at the end of the line is not needed, as the red squiggly underline indicates.
