Calling a function with vector as input

I have a function: function [U] = FE (nelx, nely, o) As nelx=4, nely=4 and o=2 I could simply call it by writing FE(4,4,2). But now I have another input function [U] = FE (nelx, nely, o, k) k is a 16x1 vector. As its not a scalar value, its an array of 16 values. How do I call this function? FE(4,4,2,?)

FE(4, 4, 2, k )
It is generally a good habit to call functions with named inputs rather than hard-coded numbers anyway, but that is opinion rather than fact.
Obviously in this case your function has to support a vector argument in the 4th position.
Actually, that is the problem, I can't figure it out that how to add support for vector argument in 4th position.
"How do I call this function? FE(4,4,2,?)"
FE(4,4,2,k)
Why do you think that you need to do something special? Scalar values are arrays too, and you don't seem to be worried about passing them to your function. What is the real problem?
"I can't figure it out that how to add support for vector argument in 4th position."
So write the function so that it accepts a vector for its fourth argument. This has nothing to do with how the function is called.
OK, thanks. I will try it in my program. I am using Matlab after maybe 8 years. So with practice, I will get better.
