Error: Function definitions are not permitted in this context.

I am trying to do modified menn-kendall in matlab and the code is function[H,p_value]=Mann_Kendall_Modified(V,alpha)

Where V is data series and alpha is 0.05. But error is coming Error:

Function definitions are not permitted in this context.

Can anybody help me to solve it?

It is never permitted to use a "function" statement at the MATLAB command line.

In R2016a and earlier, it is not permitted to use a "function" statement in a script file (a .m file that does not start with 'function' or 'classdef')

In R2016b and later, it become possible to put "function" at the end of a script file. This has some restrictions, including that each "function" must have a matching "end" statement
