I keep getting an error message for my subplot syntax? Could anyone out there look over my script, and tell me whats wrong?

%subplot.m x = 0:0.1:5; y = exp(-1.2*x).*sin(10*x+5); subplot(1,2,1) plot(x,y),xlabel('x'), ylabel('y'),axis([0 5 -1 11]) x = -6:0.1:6; y = abs(x.^3-100); subplot(1,2,2) plot(x,y),xlabel ('x'),ylabel('y'),axis([-6 6 0 350])

It seems to be plotting fine. What does your error message say?

As an FYI, subplot is an inbuilt function in Matlab, so make sure you do not have any variables or other M-files by that name.

Attempt to execute SCRIPT subplot as a function: E:\subplot.m

Error in subplot (line 4) subplot(1,2,1)

Right! Please change the name of the script to something else so it doesn't override the inbuilt function and you're good to go.

This is simply a reformatted version. Please try running this:

x = 0:0.1:5; 
y = exp(-1.2*x).*sin(10*x+5); 
subplot(1,2,1), plot(x,y);
xlabel('x'), ylabel('y'),axis([0 5 -1 11]);
x = -6:0.1:6; 
y = abs(x.^3-100); 
subplot(1,2,2), plot(x,y);
xlabel ('x'),ylabel('y'),axis([-6 6 0 350]);

Thanks, I had a variable by the same name.

Hey, try putting semicolon (;) between your commands instead of comma (,)
