MATLAB: Jacobi method giving an error

jacobi method

For a numerical methods class I am in I have to create a function that solve an arbitrarily system of linear equations using the jacobi method. I am testing out a code from my textbook
    %
function X=jacobi(A,B,P,delta,max1)
N = length(B);
if true
  % code


end
for k=1:max1
 for j=1:N
    X(j)=(B(j)-A(j,[1:j-1,j+1:N])*P([1:j-1,j+1:N]))/A(j,j);
 end
 err=abs(norm(X'-P));
 relerr=err/(norm(X)+eps);
 P=X';
    if (err<delta)||(relerr<delta)
   break
 end
end
if true
  % code
end
X=X';
end
end
Where delta is my tolerance and max1 is number of iterations.
And when I enter it (after defining my A,B, and P terms) I am giving the following error:
if true
  % code
X=@jacobi(A,b,P,0.001,1);
X=@jacobi(A,b,P,0.001,1);
        ↑
Error: Unbalanced or unexpected parenthesis or bracket.
end
What does this mean? Dont I need to put the function in parenthesis in order for it to run?

Get rid of the @ symbol. Just call it by it's name alone.
X = jacobi(A,b,P,0.001,1);
