How do I fix this error to output the correct data? I get an error when I use disp.

%Take user input for the weights (kg) of all fish from the haul as a vector

else

end
end
%Determine the total income resulting from selling the haul
totalIncome = wholeFishIncome + filletFishIncome + canningFishIncome + petFoodFishIncome + fishExtractsFishIncome;
%Output a detailed invoice including the weight of each grade of fish, the total income for each grade of fish, and the total income from the entire haul

disp('You caught ' + fishExtractsFishWeight + ' kg of fish for Fish Extracts, to be sold for $' + fishExtractsFishIncome);
disp('Your total income for this haul is $' + totalIncome);

if the error in "disp", use
or maybe this works
X=['You caught ' , wholeFishWeight , ' kg of fish for Whole Fish, to be sold for $' , wholeFishIncome];
disp(X)
