why is function giving me an empty matrix ?

>> stFeatures = stFeatureExtraction('signal', 44100, 0.2, 0.1)

stFeatures =

  35×0 empty double matrix
  
  
  
  
function Features = stFeatureExtraction(signal, fs, win, step)
% function Features = stFeatureExtraction(signal, fs, win, step)
%
% This function computes basic audio feature sequencies for an audio
% signal, on a short-term basis.
%
% ARGUMENTS:
%  - signal:    the audio signal
%  - fs:        the sampling frequency
%  - win:       short-term window size (in seconds)
%  - step:      short-term step (in seconds)
signal = 'audio.wav';
% RETURNS:
%  - Features: a [MxN] matrix, where M is the number of features and N is
%  the total number of short-term windows. Each line of the matrix
%  corresponds to a seperate feature sequence

[Walter Roberson]

stFeatures = stFeatureExtraction('signal', 44100, 0.2, 0.1)

Do not pass in the character vector 'signal' there: pass in the variable that holds the signal with no '' around it

[Kamil Kacer]

stFeatures =

  35×0 empty double matrix

>> stFeatures = stFeatureExtraction(audio.wav, 44100, 1, 2)
Undefined variable "audio" or class "audio.wav".
 
>> stFeatures = stFeatureExtraction('audio.wav', 44100, 1, 2)

stFeatures =

  35×0 empty double matrix
  

Still doesnt work

[Kamil Kacer]

got it

[Walter Roberson]

[signal, Fs] = audioread('audio.wav');
stFeatures = stFeatureExtraction(signal, Fs, 1, 2);
