- 3. The name of MATLAB function must not resemble any reserved words in MATLAB.
- 4. The name of MATLAB function should not contain any special characters like *, #, $ etc. and spacing between the words.
The given function name Mult2#s.m contains a special character “#” which is not allowed. Hence, the given function name is invalid.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the function name Mult2#s.m is invalid.
H.
Check whether the given function name or program is valid or invalid.
Answer to Problem 1ICA
The function name pi.m is invalid.
Explanation of Solution
The given function name pi.m meets all the criteria of rules that have to be followed for proper function name. Even though pi.m meets all the criteria, it’s a built-in MATLAB function, which provides the standard value as 3.14. So, it is necessary to avoid the file names, which are same as the name of standard built-in functions.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the function name pi.m is invalid.
I.
Check whether the given function name or program is valid or invalid.
Answer to Problem 1ICA
The function name ReadFile.m is valid.
