I am trying to create a function that sums up all the values of the fibonacci series using only recursion, but I keep getting this error message...
Output argument "answer" (and maybe others) not
assigned during call to "sum_of_fibo>fibo".
Error in sum_of_fibo (line 2)
summa = sum(fibo(n:-1:0));
Here's my code...can someone help?
function summa = sum_of_fibo(n)
summa = sum(fibo(n:-1:0));
end
function answer = fibo(n)
if n == 0
answer = 1;
elseif n == 1
answer = 1;
elseif n > 1
answer = fibo(n-1) + fibo(n-2);
end
end

If you pass in something like -1 or 0.4, answer will never get set to anything. You should set it to something, even if it's null, to avoid that error. Better yet, make an "else" for your if to handle cases where you're passing in values that are not positive integers or zero.
function answer = fibo(n)
answer = []; % empty
if n == 0
answer = 1;
elseif n == 1
answer = 1;
elseif n > 1
answer = fibo(n-1) + fibo(n-2);
end
end

Any time you write if... elseif... statements you should always include a final else statement, even if you think you've covered every possibility. The final else statement can either define a default value for answer or in can throw an error.
Example 1
function answer = fibo(n)
if n == 0
answer = 1;
elseif n == 1
answer = 1;
elseif n > 1
answer = fibo(n-1) + fibo(n-2);
else
answer = -1; % Default value
end
Example 2
function answer = fibo(n)
if n == 0
answer = 1;
elseif n == 1
answer = 1;
elseif n > 1
answer = fibo(n-1) + fibo(n-2);
else
error('''n'' must be greater or equal to 0.') % throw error
end

Out of memory. The likely cause is an infinite recursion within the program.
Error in sum_of_fibo (line 5)
summa = fibo(n) + jff(n-1);
