MATLAB: Input a Vector as Function Argument

Question

Hi,

I was facing this problem in inputing a vector to my user defined function. I have defined a function that needs two inputs to perform some operations. However, when it try to pass on a vector containing two element to the function it shows need more arguments error.

x = [2 , 4]
y = sq(x)
function out = sq(a , b)
    out = a.^2 + b;
end

Can somebody show me how to do it right?

I will be very grateful.

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

Either

x = [2 , 4]
y = sq(x(1),x(2))
function out = sq(a , b)
    out = a.^2 + b;
end

or

x = [2 , 4]
y = sq(x)
function out = sq(x)
a = x(1); b = x(2);
    out = a.^2 + b;
end
