If you want to run MATLAB code in Python, you have two options:

1. Translate it to Python language - MATLAB uses a distinct language that cannot be used directly (although there are lots of similarities)
2. Use the MATLAB Engine API for Python, which provides the necessary interface between the two languages. As per the instructions, you need to install this into your Python environment, and you will also need a valid MATLAB licence.

Hi @muhammad,

From your question it looks like you are encountering issues while trying to execute MATLAB code from Python. If you are experiencing a syntax error, it might be due to the differences in syntax and functionality between MATLAB and Python. Here are some steps to help you resolve the issue:

1. Check the Code Syntax: Ensure that there are no syntax errors in both the Python code you are using and the MATLAB code you are trying to run from Python. Remember, MATLAB and Python have different syntax rules, so MATLAB code cannot be run directly in a Python environment.
2. Use the MATLAB Engine for Python: To run MATLAB code from Python, you need to use the "MATLAB Engine API for Python." This library allows you to call MATLAB functions and scripts from Python. You can follow the official documentation to install and set up the MATLAB Engine API for Python: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/install-the-matlab-engine-for-python.html.
3. Troubleshoot Specific Errors: Look out for common syntax errors such as missing colons, incorrect indentation, or mismatched parentheses. Ensure that variable names and library imports in Python are consistent and adhere to Python’s naming conventions.

By following these steps, you should be able to run MATLAB code from Python without issues.
