Error: Function definitions are not permitted at the prompt or in scripts.

Hi, can someone tell me what to do to solve the error prompt 'Function definitions are not permitted at the prompt or scripts'

 Accepted Answer

Don't try to define a function at the prompt or in a script. Put functions in their own M-files.

I accepted the answer but I don't know how to do what you asked me to do
You should probably read the help for functions:
help function
Instead of entering (or copying and pasting) the code at the MATLAB command prompt, use an convenient editor (such as the built-in MATLAB editor), put the code into a file, and save the file with the same name as the function.
