Every time I run my script I get this error, if I change the file name then I get no results in my workspace or command window? Please help, I'm not sure whats wrong.
Error: File: rv_from_coe.m Line: 5 Column: 19
Local function name must be different from the script name.

Remove first 2 lines.
Your function doesn’t need any input arguments.
You must call a function not simply clicking the green triangular button.
doc function % a must read

Thank you, but even when I do this nothing even appears in my work space

You have to invoke the function from the command line, in a way that assigns values to variables.
[MyR, MyV] = rv_from_coe();
The function is written to accept arguments, but there is no point in passing any arguments to the function as the function overwrites the variables involved .
