Live script will not run code that "regular" script will

The following code works fine in SCRIPT, but it will not work in Live Script. I am wondering why?

I am running MATLAB 2016b, on an iMAC running OS X Sierra.

Thanks,

% A is a 6x2 numerical array. Col 1 has student IDs in it. Col 2 has 

% corresponding test scores. 

% Find the second largest score, and the ID of the 

% student who received the second highest score. 

% Assume no duplicate scores.

A = [11 45; 
     12 98; 
     13 71; 
     14 21; 
     15 34; 
     16 92];

[sortedScores, ndxSortedScores] = sort(A(:,2));

secondHighestScore = sortedScores(end-1)

ID_secondHighest = A(  ndxSortedScores(end-1),  1)

A is not 6x2. A is 1x12. Perhaps that is part of your problem.

Could you provide the error message? I can run your scripts both in m and mlx files.

John, I'm not sure why you say that A would be 1 x 12 ? The code includes explicit ";" which would make it into a 2D array.

The code works for me as Live Script in R2016b on Mac with El Capitan.

The code works for me as Live Script in R2016b on Mac with Sierra in a Virtual Machine.
