FAQs

Why is MATLAB saying not enough input arguments? ›

your function needs to be called with at least three input arguments. Therefore you must call it with exactly three input arguments. From the text of the error message you're likely calling it with fewer than three input arguments.

"Not enough arguments" error is simply an indicative of the fact that you are calling some MATLAB/user-defined function with the wrong syntactical signature. You will need to pass correct number of inputs arguments to any function.

nargin( fun ) returns the number of input arguments that appear in the fun function definition. If the function includes varargin in its definition, then nargin returns the negative of the number of inputs. For example, if function myFun declares inputs a , b , and varargin , then nargin('myFun') returns -3 .

One of the most common causes is misspelling the function or variable name. Especially with longer names or names containing similar characters (such as the letter l and numeral one), it is easy to make mistakes and hard to detect them.

This error means that you have not provided enough input arguments to the function. You need to provide more information to the function in order to run it properly.

If you are unfamiliar with the problem, right-click the highlighted code. The first item in the context menu shows the suggested fix. Select the item to apply the fix. If multiple instances of a problem exist, MATLAB might offer to apply the suggested fix for all instances of the problem.

error: too few arguments to function(.......) means you are passing fewer arguments than the parameters. You should pass an equal parameter as your function hold. If your function holds three parameters then you must input three parameters for calling the function.

Typically, the suggestion is to stay way less than 7 arguments. If you have to pass that many arguments into a function, you would do better to create an object to pass the information in.

The 'not enough arguments for format string' error is straightforward yet perplexing for many. It arises when the number of placeholders in a string does not match the number of arguments provided for those placeholders.

varargin is an input variable in a function definition statement that enables the function to accept any number of input arguments. Specify varargin by using lowercase characters. After any explicitly declared inputs, include varargin as the last input argument.

What is Feval MATLAB? ›

The feval function enables an object to behave like a function in MATLAB^®. You can pass feval to another function that accepts a function input, such as fminsearch and integral . feval can be simpler to use with a model created from a table or dataset array.

Nargin (programming) (number arguments in), a programming command in MATLAB indicating how many input arguments a user has supplied.

Calling erf for a number that is not a symbolic object invokes the MATLAB^® erf function. This function accepts real arguments only. If you want to compute the error function for a complex number, use sym to convert that number to a symbolic object, and then call erf for that symbolic object.

syms lists the names of all symbolic scalar variables, functions, matrix variables, matrix functions, and arrays in the MATLAB workspace. example. S = syms returns a cell array of the names of all symbolic scalar variables, functions, matrix variables, matrix functions, and arrays.

Dictionary is a MATLAB^® data type that stores key/value pairs of almost any MATLAB type. Dictionaries return a value for a given key. Lookup times are independent of the size of the dictionary. Dictionaries in MATLAB support vectorized insertion, lookup, and deletion.

1) Passing a function more input arguments than it expected to receive, perhaps by passing a list of inputs rather than a vector of inputs, or have tried to obtain two outputs from a function that only returns one. 2) You have multiple functions with the same name.

An input argument default value can be any constant or expression that satisfies the size, class, and validation function requirements. Specifying a default value in an argument declaration makes the argument optional. MATLAB uses the default value when the argument is not included in the function call.

x = input( prompt ) displays the text in prompt and waits for the user to input a value and press the Return key. The user can enter expressions, like pi/4 or rand(3) , and can use variables in the workspace. If the user presses the Return key without entering anything, then input returns an empty matrix.

To add input arguments to an app, open the app in App Designer and click Code View. Then click App Input Arguments in the Editor tab. This launches the App Details dialog box. Use the Input Arguments field in the dialog box to add or remove input arguments in the function signature of the startupFcn callback.
