How can i make mathworks examples run on my matlab version R2013a

I have a problem with running some of the examples on the mathworks website on 'array pattern synthesis'. Some of the functions are not recognized I think due to my matlab version. How can i solve this problem?

Simplest would be to upgrade.

Failing that, you'd have to look up what the missing functions to and see you can find a way to accomplish the same thing with other functions you do have (some syntax issues such as automatic array expansion can be solved by recoding with bsxfun for example) or if it's actually a new function you'd have to write a replacement.

Use the examples from the R2013a (link) documentation.

You essentially need to upgrade your MATLAB release. You could, in theory, find each problem function, finding replacements for each one. That will take a serious amount of effort, and require some serious skill in writing the code to conform. If you are just going through examples, you probably don't have those skills.

You CANNOT use a new function from current MATLAB and have it work in an old release. That is prevented from happening by The MathWorks.

So if you truly need to do the examples, then you need to upgrade your MATLAB license. The good news is the new release will have any enhancements made since then. There have in fact been a few nice ones.
