Taylor series input arguments error

When I try to calculate a Taylor series specifying the Expansion Point and Order eg.

syms x 
T = taylor(sin(x), x, 'ExpansionPoint' , pi/4, 'Order' ,5)

I receive the error message

Error using sym/taylor

Too many input arguments

(I'm using MATLAB r2018b if it helps)

Hi,

As Walter mentioned in the comments the issue would be that you may have defined a local variable named ‘taylor’ which is overriding the inbuilt function ‘taylor’ from Symbolic Math Toolbox. You can remove or change the variable name which are named taylor form the code before using taylor function. You can use

clear taylor  

At the beginning of the code. I have explicity run the code mentioned in question without anything else and it runs fine.
