Undefined function or method 'V' for input arguments of type 'double'.

Hi There. I'm getting the following error when I try to run this programme. *Undefined function or method 'V' for input arguments of type 'double'.*

     %Mesures=importdata('C:\Users\wrd\Documents\Données du moteur\AR-Variat charge _(ess2-01-07)\D1500_20%.dat');
     Mesures=importdata('C:\Users\wrd\Documents\Données du moteur\AR-Variat charge _(ess2-01-07)\D1500_20%.dat');
     thet=Mesures(:,1);
     %theta=thet;
     theta=Mesures(1:5:numel(thet),1);
           %Pres=10^5*Mesures(1:numel(theta),2); 
     P=10^5*Mesures(1:5:numel(thet),2); 
         %dPthet=gradient(P,theta);   %dPthet=10^5*Mesures(:,2);
         % P(1)=Pres(1); P(2)=Pres(2); P(numel(theta))=Pres(numel(theta)); P(numel(theta)-1)=Pres(numel(theta)-1);
          %    for i=3:(numel(theta)-2)
           %        P(i)=(Pres(i-2)+Pres(i-1)+Pres(i)+Pres(i+1)+Pres(i+1))/5;
            %  end 

       dPtheta=gradient(P,theta);

   % m=6*10^(-4);
    %stop

One would have no idea what you expected from this code. MATLAB certainly had no idea.

READ THE ERROR MESSAGE. It points out that V is undefined. In fact, inside a loop, you use the function or variable V.

clear V
[VL(i),dVthet(i)]=V(theta(i),Cu,Vm,Landav);

Even worse, on the very line before you try to use V, you clear it!

If you want to use V as a function or variable, it needs to exist. If not, then MATLAB will (and should) throw up its virtual hands and give up the ghost.

hey, i tried without " Clear V " but im still getting the same error for i=2:numel(theta)

                     %Calcul du volume et de sa dérivée
                     [VL(i),dVthet(i)]=V(theta(i),Cu,Vm,Landav);

[John D'Errico]

It does not exist. There is no function named V, at least not on the MATLAB search path.

help addpath

There is NO reason to clear V. That is a waste of time.

I think it is time for you to start learning MATLAB.

okey thank you for help.
