Calling a function from a script

I'm trying to call a function from a script, but everything that I have seen and read on how to do so has not been helpful. Would someone please show me an example of calling a function from a script? I would really appreciate it.

You call the function just like you would call it from the command line or from another function. There is no difference in the syntax. Are you trying to have the function code in the same file as the script code? Or ...?

Yes, it's in the same file, just a different script.

Example of calling a function from a script:

x = input('Input x ');
y = xsquared(x);
disp(y)

function y = xsquared(x)
   y = x.*x;
end

Caveat: Only for later versions of MATLAB. Earlier versions would not allow this.

[Walter Roberson]

Earlier versions would require that the function be stored in a separate file.
