Functions

[David K]

Hi,

can someone tell me why the following script at the Scilab promt stops the
echoing of subsequent commands and their results to the screen ?

**
function y=foo(x,g) ; y=g(x) ; endfunction
**

When I type the following there is no response, only a blank command prompt
instead of 'ans ='

**
typeof(foo)
**

thanks and regards

David

Hi David.
I'm only able to reproduce your error with a wrong "endfunction", that
means the function definition is not finished.
Try the following example:

function y=foo(x,g);y=g(x);enfunction
-->1+5
--> //any other scilab commands
-->endfunction // at this point the function definition is finished,
and you see the normal prompt.

I hope this helps,
Rainer

Yeap,

that did it ! It was the spaces between the ; that were the problem,

thanks Rainer,

regards

David
