Error using Quiver function

Hi, I am having an error using Quiver. Below is my code.
[X,Y] = meshgrid(-1:0.1:1, -1:0.1:1);
k=2*pi;
syms U_inf Lambda Psi X Y u v
Psi = U_inf*Y+((Lambda/k)*atan(Y/X));
u = diff(Psi,Y);
v = diff (Psi, X);
quiver (X,Y,u,v)
The error is "Unable to convert expression into double array."
I believe I am not using the syms correctly. Any help is appreciated!

You cannot use like that. You need to take all data in double i.e in numbers to plot the arrows.Something like below:
[X,Y] = meshgrid(-1:0.1:1, -1:0.1:1);
k=2*pi;
U_inf = rand ; % define your value
Lambda = 1. ; %define your value
Psi = U_inf*Y+((Lambda/k)*atan(Y./X));
u = gradient(Psi);
v = gradient(Psi);
quiver (X,Y,u,v)

Thanks for the response. But I am not given any values for U_inf and Lambda. They are simply constants. That is why I was trying to use the "syms" command.
