What is the error?

When you have an error, please report the ENTIRE error message, thus everything in red. Doing so will often help us to immediately know what you did wrong.

Apart from the fact that you forgot to put "end" at the end of the function (the "end" of the "for" loop doesn't count), there is nothing wrong with it.

You have written it as a function. You need to call the function from a script, passing it a handle to F, and values of the other arguments.

Like this:
F = @(t,y) y + t; % Define your dy/dt function
y0 = 1; % Initial condition
t0 = 0;
tfinal = 2;
h = (tfinal-t0)/100;
yout = ode1(F,t0,h,tfinal,y0);
plot(t0:h:tfinal,yout),grid
xlabel('t'),ylabel('y')
function yout = ode1(F,t0,h,tfinal,y0)
% ODE1 A simple ODE solver.
% yout = ODE1(F,t0,h,tfinal,y0) uses Euler's
% method with fixed step size h on the interval
% t0 <= t <= tfinal
% to solve
% dy/dt = F(t,y)
% with y(t0) = y0.

y = y0;
yout = y;
for t = t0 : h : tfinal-h
s = F(t,y);
y = y + h*s;
yout = [yout; y];
end
end
