error using integral function

hi everybody,i`m trying to execute this code...
syms x f(x)
f(x)=exp((-x.^2)/2)
f_matlab = matlabFunction(f(x))
v1 = integral(f_matlab,1,2)
but when i do it, i get this problem
Unable to use a value of type function_handle as an index.
Error in (name of script) (line 55)
v1 = integral(f_matlab,1,2)
Does anyone know how to solve it?

Rename the variable you've defined named integral so that it doesn't shadow the integral function included in MATLAB.

Looks like you are trying to do numerical integration, then no need for symbolic variables.
f=@(x)exp(-x.^2/2);
v=integral(f,1,2);

It still doesn't run :( it is part of an exercise and there are more exercises in the script , if i put it just that execrise in a separate script then it runs, but not always
