Matlab Fundamentals course: Task 1 from paragraph 15.1 (Creating and Calling Functions) gives me an error

Hello,

I just finished the Matlab Fundamentals course, but, unfortunately, I didn't manage to complete the exercises from paragraph 15.1. Even if I copy and paste the suggested solution and submit the job, I get an error in Task 1 (please see the attached image), so that I cannot go ahead to task 2. This problem causes the current percentage of course completion to be stuck at 99%.

Could you please help me understanding where is the problem?

Thank you so much,

Sara

Did you give values to the array "medals" somewhere ?

Answer 1

[Cris LaPierre]

It looks like there is an issue with this test. You can fix it by adding a clear in the very first line of the script.

clear % <=== Add clear to first line
load medalcounts bronzes silvers golds medals

histogram(medals)
xlabel("Medal count")
ylabel("Number of teams")

Task 1

pp = paretoperc(medals)

[Sara Severino]

Issue fixed. Thank you very much for your help! :)

Kind regards,

Sara

This issue should be fixed now. You should no longer need to add clear to pass the tests.

I feel now its not fixed

[Siva Pradeep P]

i feel this code doesn't work for me

what can be the output for this question?

now i have included the function keyword too but another two conditions are not satisfied yet....

[Cris LaPierre]

The issue raised by the OP has been fixed.

It looks like you haven't actually created the function paretoperc. Scroll down in the solution code to see where a local function has been added to the live script.

Follow the instructions in this task to create the function yourself.

I'm facing this same problem, as instructed I added "clear" in the first line still it is showing error.

[Cris LaPierre]

What issue are your facing specifically? It is no longer necessary to add a clear to your code, as that issue was fixed over a year ago.

I'm having the issue. When I add "clear" on top it'll show x on "Is pp still the same value?" instead of the green checkmark. Attached is a screennshot without adding clear

[Cris LaPierre]

You are not calling your function. You have only written the function, but must use it to create the indicated variable.

I'd suggest moving your functino to the very bottom of your script. See this previous comment.

[Joshua Melbert]

I have the same issue, but for "Is pp calculated from function paretoperc?"

[Cris LaPierre]

Knowing nothing more than what test you are getting wrong, my suspicion is that you are not assiging the output of your function call to a variable named pp.
