displays an error message of a program that doesn't exist

Whenever I try to run the program, this window pops up. Please help.

Execution of script InputExampleCircle as a function is not supported:
/MATLAB Drive/InputExampleCircle.m

Error in LiveEditorEvaluationHelperEeditorE4670720 (line 3)
r=input("Enter the radius of the circle to be constructed :")

When you try to run what program?

The code is somewhere calling a script file as a function, but nobody here has actually seen the code. You'd have to attach the script you're trying to run for anyone to troubleshoot it.

Hi Aditya,

I understand that you are facing issue in execution of the script "InputExampleCircle" in MATLAB.

The most probable reason for the issue is because of the presence of a user created script file. Calling the script as some function name interferes with the calling of built-in function of MATLAB.

For better understanding of the issue please consider the following example:

If I create a script file as "delete.m" and run it, MATLAB will throw the same error "Execution of script delete as a function is not supported". In this case, you need to rename your "delete.m" to some other name to avoid the name conflict.

To understand your query better, you can share a dummy code file to understand the exact cause of this issue.
