Help with Function Errors?

I have the following 2 functions:

 function hitPond(pondRadius, xhit, yhit)
  %use distance formula to find length between points.
  x=0;
  y=0;
  %because of the axis^
  %we are finding the distance between the axis and the point where it hit
  step1=(xhit-x)^2;
  step2=(yhit-y)^2;
  step3=step1+step2;
  distance=sqrt(step3);
  if (distance<1);
      output_variablePond = 1;
      disp(output_variablePond)
  elseif distance>1;
      output_variableField =0;
      disp(output_variableField)
  end
  end

and

function hitPond(pondRadius, xhit, yhit)
%use distance formula to find length between points.
x=0;
y=0;
%because of the axis^
%we are finding the distance between the axis and the point where it hit
step1=(xhit-x)^2;
step2=(yhit-y)^2;
step3=step1+step2;
distance=sqrt(step3);
if (distance<1);
    output_variablePond = 1;
    disp(output_variablePond)
elseif distance>1;
    output_variableField =0;
    disp(output_variableField)
end
end

when I run them in my driver script, I get errors

Error using hitPond Too many output arguments.

Error in plotShot (line 2) hits=hitPond(pondRadius, xhit, yhit)

Error in monteCarlo (line 22) plotShot(1,0,0)

Can anyone explain to me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

"I have the following 2 functions:" &nbsp but you show two listings of the same function. Anyhow, I don't see any difference.

Answer 1

[per isakson]

"Error in plotShot (line 2) hits=hitPond(pondRadius, xhit, yhit)" &nbsp one output, &nbsp hits &nbsp is expected but there is no output returned by the function

    function hitPond(pondRadius, xhit, yhit)

See function, Declare function name, inputs, and outputs

ugh, i'm not sure how to fix it

[Andrew Ardolino]

like, I want to make it so that the output from hitPond can be used in a different function to plot it under certain circumstances

[per isakson]

It seems as if the calling function, &nbsp plotShot, &nbsp assumes the function, &nbsp hitPond, &nbsp to calculate and return &nbsp hits. &nbsp However, the listing doesn't show any such calculation and there is no output.

Did you study the examples in the page I linked to?
