MATLAB: Error when trying to Publish from m file

error

I am having trouble when trying to publish the code below when it is in a m file. Instead of the graph that I expect I get an error message:

Error using evalin Undefined function 'Problem' for input arguments of type 'char'

TempF = 32 : 3.6 : 93.2;
TempC = 5 / 9 * (TempF - 32);
rho = 5.5286 * 10.^-8 * TempC.^3 - 8.5016 * 10.^-6 * TempC.^2 + 6.5622 * 10.^-6 * TempC + 0.99987;
plot(TempC, rho)
xlabel('Temperature in Degrees Celcius')
ylabel('Density of Freshwater (g/cm^3)')

Best Answer

If I enter the following:

%%Water Density vs. Temperature 
  % This plots the density of freshwater as a function of the temperature
  % in celsius.
  TempF = 32 : 3.6 : 93.2;
  TempC = 5 / 9 * (TempF - 32);
  rho = 5.5286 * 10.^-8 * TempC.^3 - 8.5016 * 10.^-6 * TempC.^2 + 6.5622 * 10.^-6 * TempC + 0.99987;
  plot(TempC, rho)
  xlabel('Temperature in Degrees Celsius')
  ylabel('Density of Freshwater (g/cm^3)')

in an M-file called temperature.m and then execute

>>publish temperature.m

or just:

>>publish('temperature')

I have no trouble publishing it.

If you are not actually referring to MATLAB's publish() functionality, but rather using the above as a function, then please be specific.

Hi,

you try this code (all in one file as nested function). The values you want to have in every iteration are now added to the solution and also saved in the results table. This should be what you want.
