Help with suppressing the display of 'ans' !

I don't want the output 'ans'. How could I fix it so that it doesn't display 'ans = 1.6929e+04'. I just want the temperatures, constants and the Enthalpy displayed. Thanks so much.

You just got rid of all the fixes I did to your post and ruined it after I had fixed it for you. Now we can't run it anymore. Read this to learn how to format your code and avoid this problem in the future. Then read my answer below.

My guess is that you’re calling it without a semicolon after the function call.
See if this helps:
Ea = Arrhenius_Equation_Enthalpy;
You also need to specifically request an output from the function, or it will return the output to the default ‘ans’ variable.

Put a semicolon at the end so it doesn't echo the return value, Ea, to the command window:
>> Arrhenius_Equation_Enthalpy;

I didn't say to put it at the end of the function line. I told you to put it at the end of the line where you actually call the function, just like Star told you. Notice the >> in my answer - that is the command line prompt. Accepting the output into an output variable like Star showed you is optional but probably a good idea since you go to trouble of returning it.
