Problem converting standanlone code

Hi, I'm trying to compile this very simple program:

    function [ out ] = prova(a, b )

    disp(a)
    disp(b)
    c=a+b;
    disp(c)

    out=0;

   end

When I run it in the matlab console - all fine there. If I compile the code and run the program, what I get, for example giving 2 and 3 as inputs, is

    2
    3
    101

It is getting the right inputs, but whenever I try to compute an operation with those numbers the program uses the acii codes corresponding to the numbers. I'd really appreciate it if somebody can give me a hint. Thanks.

Values you give on the command line of the executable are treated as strings. You are seeing '2' + '3' rather than 2 + 3

And how can I give numbers instead of strings? Thanks
