Trouble with subplot size

I've been getting an error when I try to subplot in my function, so I tried the EXACT code found in the subplot doc as an example, and still got the same error.

The error is "Index exceeds matrix dimensions"

Or, if I'm running the debugger it says "Attempted to access subplot(2,1,1); index out of bounds because size(subplot)=[1,1,1]."

Here's the example:

x= linspace(0,10)

y1=sin(x)

y2=sin(5*x)

figure

subplot(2,1,1);

plot (x,y1)

subplot(2,1,2);

plot (x,y2)

What is the result of

which subplot

?

This is an error you would get if you have a variable of the same name as the function. Certainly if Matlab sees subplot as a function it would not be giving errors about its size - that clearly relates to a variable instead.

Thank you!! I found the variable
