I am having problem with input.

My code: s = input('Enter length of side');

Error shown: Attempt to execute SCRIPT input as a function: \\hs8.lboro.ac.uk\psyd3\MATLAB\input.m

Error in IsTriangle_With_Errors (line 5) s1 = input('Enter shortest side of Triangle:');

It seems like you wrote a script named input.m. Try to rename that.

I had written a script input.m, I renamed it. Did not work.

Tried deleting it. Still didn't work

You learned a valuable lesson: don't shadow Matlab functions. You should write functions (or scripts) with names like sum or input etc. You can check if a function exists by a name you're planning to use by entering the name in the documentation search box in the top of your Matlab window, or in the online doc for your release.

or calling

which function_name -all

@Yash Deshpande: show us the complete output of this command:

which input -all

[Yash Deshpande]

Sorry, my bad. Got it. I had not deleted properly. It is working now.

BTW, you should be aware that the offline doc search and which only work for the toolboxes you have installed.
