Hi,
One potential cause for this issue is if there are built-in MATLAB functions that are being overridden by the user code. To check for this, we can use the function "which x -all" where x is another function name. In this scenario, it is a good idea to check the following:
>>which fullfile -all
>>which string -all
>>which isstring -all
to see if any of these are being overridden.
Please take care that you do not use names of built-in MATLAB functions for your variables or user-defined functions.
