[Walter Roberson]

you do not show us that code. But be careful about rankin compared to rankine

[Joshua]

No, what you see is the code I am getting the errors on. And I know rankin is not the same as rankine. I have no idea why its saying rankin. its not even a variable I have.

[Voss]

Perhaps the error about "rankin" is an old error - still appearing in the command window - from a previous version of the code that had a typo. Do you get that same error when you run the code now?

Also, please indicate which line shows the error "This statement is incomplete."

In general it's a good idea to copy the entire error message when posting here because it says the line number as well as the text of the line that causes the error.

[Walter Roberson]

The error message is being reported for line 57 of a file that is only about 15 lines.

Perhaps you are not running the code you think you are running.

[Joshua]

This is the line I am getting the error on ""rankine(2,4) = 3.6742*10^3"" the other lines you are talking about are all comments I have made for declaring variables etc. Stuff my prof is requiring for the project.

I restarted my computer and went to an older version and this issue has resolved itself? but thank you guys for your help

[Walter Roberson]

If you are getting "undefined function or variable rankin" and it is pointing you to a line number that you believe reads rankine(2,4) = 3.6742*10^3 then you are not executing the function you think you are executing. Use

which -all project

to see where it is getting the project script from.
