I really don't know what is the reason for this error. PLease help!
theta_dd(i)= (kP*r(i) +kD*r_dot(i) -(m*g*l+kP)*sin(theta(i)) -kD*theta_dot(i))/M;

The cause of this kind of problem is having an invisible character such as a zero-width space, or having accidentally used "smart-quotes" instead of regular quotes.

It is impossible to debug your one line of code because I can't run it on my end due to undefined variables. However, if you copied and pasted that line of code into MATLAB, it is likely that there is some text character(s) in the line that you copied which matlab does not recognize.
If you did copy and paste the code, try typing it in by hand instead. Otherwise you will need to post the whole code before anyone can really help you.

Please attach the file that is having the problem, instead of pasting in the text.

Right after the semi-colon you have char(8203) which us U+200b which is "zero width space".
Put your cursor on the semi-colon and press shift and right arrow several times until your cursor is positioned on the next line. That should highlight several characters. Type in ; and then return. This process should get rid of the zero-width space.

A={0.1/2+0.6/3+0.4/4+0.3/5+0.8/6} B={0.5/2+0.8/3+0.4/4+0.6/5+0.4/6} u=input(‘A’); v=input(‘B’);
↑ Invalid expression. Check for missing multiplication operator, missing or unbalanced delimiters, or other syntax error. To construct matrices, use brackets instead of parentheses.
Please help me out

You used ʼ (right single quotation mark) instead of ' (vertical single quotation mark)

%Program for linear convolution
%to get the input sequence
n1=input('enter the length of input sequence');
n2=input('enter the length of impulse sequence');
x=input('enter the input sequence');
h=input('enter the impulse sequence');
%convolution operation
y=conv(x,h);
%to plot the signal
subplot(3,1,1);
stem(x);
ylabel('amplitude');
xlabel('n1....>');
title('input sequence')
subplot(3,1,2);
stem(h);
ylabel('amplitude');
xlabel('n2....>');
title('impulse signal')
subplot(3,1,3);
stem(y);
ylabel('amplitude');
xlabel('n3');
disp('the resultant signal is');y

@Scott: the problem with your code is already explained here: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/516793-invalid-text-character-check-for-unsupported-symbol-invisible-character-or-pasting-of-non-ascii-c#comment_1608535
