Code Error Help Please

Hello I have the following code andI've been trying to get it to work but haven't been able to. Could someone please help?

Sorry if this is an easy question I'm new to matlab.

function y=f(Fm,alf,bet,dist_a,dist_b)
  y=[-1,sind(alf),cosd(bet);
  0,cosd(alf),cosd(bet);
  0,0,(dist_a+dist_b)*cosd(bet)][0;1;dist_a]*Fm;
  disp('FCE, FCA, FDB')
  disp(y')
endfunction
disp('2a-Part 1')
f(-500,30,45,5,5);
disp('2a-Part 2')
f(-281,20,58,5,5);
disp('2b-Part 1')
f(-500,30,45,5,3.72);
disp('2b-Part 2')
f(-281,20,58,5,6.28);

Thank you in advance

disp('2a-Part 1')

2a-Part 1

f(-500,30,45,5,5);

FCE, FCA, FDB
   1.0e+04 *

   -0.2018   -0.2201   -1.7678

disp('2a-Part 2')

2a-Part 2

f(-281,20,58,5,5);

FCE, FCA, FDB
   1.0e+03 *

   -0.8406   -1.0086   -7.4454

disp('2b-Part 1')

2b-Part 1

f(-500,30,45,5,3.72);

FCE, FCA, FDB
   1.0e+04 *

   -0.2018   -0.2201   -1.5415

disp('2b-Part 2')

2b-Part 2

f(-281,20,58,5,6.28);

FCE, FCA, FDB
   1.0e+03 *

   -0.8406   -1.0086   -8.3984

% function here
function y=f(Fm,alf,bet,dist_a,dist_b)
  y=[-1,sind(alf),cosd(bet); 
  0,cosd(alf),cosd(bet); 
  0,0,(dist_a+dist_b)*cosd(bet)]*[0;1;dist_a]*Fm;  % * needed
  disp('FCE, FCA, FDB')
  disp(y')
end %function

The problem is there is no "endfunction" statement in MATLAB. That will cause an error. It's just

end

Also, the script part must come before the function declaration if you have them both in the same file.

Try that. If it still doesn't work, tell us how you called the function including what values the input arguments had, and the exact error message (ALL the red text) after you read this link.
