MATLAB: New to MATLAB here, can anyone tell me why when I try to run this it shows an error saying “Not Enough Input arguments”

#fzero#function

I_desired=1.15

[t1]=current(I_desired)
function [t1]=current(I_desired)
I=@(t) (I_desired)-(9*exp.^(-t).*sin(2*pi.*t))
t1=fzero(I,0.5)
end

Best Answer

I_desired=1.15;
t1=current(I_desired)
function [t1]=current(I_desired)
    % it is exp(), NOT exp.^()
    I=@(t) (I_desired)-(9*exp(-t).*sin(2*pi.*t));
    t1=fzero(I,0.5)
end

If I use exp() instead of exp.^() I get an output. I hope this helps ;)

MATLAB: “Too few input arguments”? (GUI handles)

Your "Game Primary Script" has

refreshFIG;

which is a call to refreshFIG passing in no arguments. But you have defined refreshFIG as taking four arguments.

When you have a line such as

function refreshFIG( src, event, WALL_L, WALL_R)

then it does not mean "look around and find an execution-time value for each of the variables named and allow the current value to be used.

What it does mean is that the calling routine must pass in several values when it makes the call, and whatever value is passed in to the routine is to be given the temporary variable name inside the routine by matching the name positions in the "function" statement to the position of the value in the call to the function.

When a name is declared in a "function" statement argument list, then inside that routine, the correspondence between name and calling-position value overrides all other uses of that variable name that might otherwise have existed. Overrides use of the name as a MATLAB built-in function; overrides any fetching of the variable from any nested scope; overrides use of the name as indicating a class. In theory if you were to have a dummy argument name that was the same as the internal name of one of the operators, calling the operator would invoke the function handle passed in. For example if you were to use "minus" as an argument name, then in theory a-b would call that minus() instead of the normal builtin minus(a,b) that would otherwise be called. Therefore if you have a name that occurs in the argument list of your current function, then the only way for the named variable to have a value is if the function was called in a way that supplied an argument to that position.

MATLAB: Does the nonlinear constraint return “not enough input arguments”

How do you call your objective function? What is passed into it?

Answer: X

Note that nonlcon takes two arguments, yet fmincon is pretty sure it takes only one argument, because fmincon passes the same thing to the constraint function that it passes to the objective. You pass in nonlcon into fmincon.

Perhaps you think that you called fmincon with nonlcon2, which is indeed a function only of X. You did not. In fact, it appears that you never use nonlcon2.

I'd suggest you are being sloppy with your function names. This is what causes bugs. Be more careful with your names, and your code will improve. It might even run. :)
