Parse error at values

function [m,s] = inputtrial(x)
    n = length(x);
    m = avg(x,n);
    s = sqrt(sum((x-m).^2/n));
end

function m = avg(x,n)
    m = sum(x)/n;
   
end
  values[] = [12.7, 45.4, 98.9, 26.6, 53.1];
 [ave,stdev] = inputtrial(values)

In MATLAB, you can define an array like this

values = [12.7, 45.4, 98.9, 26.6, 53.1];
% values[] is a syntax error

I've tried it also, but still showing error

function [m,s] = inputtrial(x)
    n = length(x);
    m = avg(x,n);
    s = sqrt(sum((x-m).^2/n));
end

function m = avg(x,n)
    m = sum(x)/n;
   
end
  values = [12.7, 45.4, 98.9, 26.6, 53.1];
 [ave,stdev] = inputtrial(values)
 
 Error: File: inputtrial.m Line: 11 Column: 3
This statement is not inside any function.
 (It follows the END that terminates the definition of the function "avg".)

[Ameer Hamza]

In MATLAB, the lines of code must precede the function definitions. So move the last two lines to the top

values = [12.7, 45.4, 98.9, 26.6, 53.1];
[ave,stdev] = inputtrial(values)
 
function [m,s] = inputtrial(x)
    n = length(x);
    m = avg(x,n);
    s = sqrt(sum((x-m).^2/n));
end
function m = avg(x,n)
    m = sum(x)/n;
   
end
