I keep on getting this error

File: solution.m Line: 3 Column: 46

Invalid expression. Check for missing multiplication operator, missing or unbalanced delimiters, or other syntax error. To construct matrices, use brackets instead of parentheses.

function [bc_nd,v_newton] = ndd(t,v,tdesired,2)
order=2;
v=v(2:2 + order);
t=t(2:2 + order);

%l=length(v);
%M = ones(l);
v=v';
t=t';
%for getting coeffs
%for i=1:l
 %   M(:,i)=(t'.^(i-1));
%end
%coeff=linsolve(M,v);
v0=v(1,1);
v1=v(2,1);
v2=v(3,1);
t0=t(1,1);
t1=t(2,1);
t2=t(3,1);


b2=(((v2-v1)/(t2-t1))-((v1-v0)/(t1-t0)))/(t2-t0);
b1=((v1-v0)/(t1-t0));
b0=v0;
coeff=[b0 b1 b2]';
% for getting soln

 solution= b0+b1*(tdesired-t0)+b2*(tdesired-t0)*(tdesired-t1) ;

end

Hi @Charles Dizon,

As per my understanding, you are getting this error because of you are passing an Integer value inside function declaration. Referring the following information might be of good help to you.

You can’t pass an Integer value as input to a function. That’s why you are getting syntax error.

Remove input "2" from function declaration. Change your function declaration as below -

function [bc_nd,v_newton] = ndd(t,v,tdesired)

For more information about MATLAB function declaration, refer to the following page
