I get the following error in Newton Ralphson code?Can any one predict the mistake?If i use RETURN instead of break at last(21 line),then error "Not enough input arguments" appears as shown in image.

while (N>0)
xn = xx-f(xx)/fp(xx);

disp(['iterations = ',num2str(iter)]);
error('Solution diverges');
break;
end;
N = N - 1;
xx = xn;
end;
error('No convergence');
break;
% end function

You cannot just run that code by giving its name newton . You need to supply the three parameters. For example,
newton(12.345, @(x) sin(x) + 3/4, @(x) cos(x))

You would not rewrite the code: you would give a command at the command line like I show.
You could write a second .m file that contained those commands, if you wanted.
