??? Too many input arguments Error

Hi everybody

    [Coord,Edof,Ep]=bintranslate(available,chromosome,Dof,fixedcoord,na,nb,neft,nl,no,nn,numbitCoordX,numbitCoordY,numbitCoordZ,numbitEp,xspan,yspan,zspan);

all of the inputs are defined, please help.

[per isakson]

What does

    which bintranslate -all

return?

[Hamid]

Coord,Edof,Ep

[per isakson]

That's not an output of which. It should look more like this

    >> which bintranslate -all 
    'bintranslate' not found.
    >> which plot -all
    built-in (C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2013a\toolbox\matlab\graph2d\plot)
    C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2013a\toolbox\matlab\timeseries\@timeseries
    etc.

[Hamid]

thank you for helping me.

I attached bintranslate function.

Answer 1

[Thorsten]

Please double check that your function is called with 17 inputs.

Such a large number of inputs is error prone. Try do define the function with fewer arguments of higher dimension, e.g. span = [xspan, yspan, zspan];

Answer 2

[per isakson]

There are two errors in your call of the function

• The function is defined with two output arguments, [Coord,Ep]. The call contains three [Coord,Edof,Ep]
• The function has 16 input arguments. The call has 17. The difference is Dof

This call passes at least the check of the numbers of inputs and outputs

    >> [Coord,Ep]=bintranslate(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16);
    Warning: This concatenation operation includes an empty array with an 
    incorrect number of columns. ...

InputPreprocessor shows how I handle functions with many input arguments.

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if people read the error messages
