How can I use some downloaded function?

I downloaded some functions files with a script file from Mathworks website. Every time I run this script, it tells me that these function are not recognized. How can I make MATLAB call them as the built-in functions?

Hello

In order to use downloaded function you can click on the Set Path in the home menu:

And then click on the add folder and choose the folder that contains your desire function; then click save.

Alternatively, you can use this:

addpath D:\whatever_your_function_is
% then
savepath

Thanks, but Is it necessary for all the functions files to be in the same folder with the script file? or I can add more than folder or path for all the functions files?

For example, you want to add five functions at the same time, so you need to download them and put ".m" file of them in the same folder (like D:\Newolder ) then add this folder using the set path. Alternatively you can add all 5 functions manually one by one (no matter where they are.

Where on the MathWorks website did you download the files? If you downloaded them from the File Exchange, I recommend using the Add-On Explorer to simplify the process of making those files available to MATLAB.
