[KSSV]

What inputs have you given? It seems D is syms class, so you cannot use like that.

[Mehul kumar]

inputs are
[1,0,omega*omega]
Fo*sin(gamma*x)
[0,0]

Answer 1

[Akash Singh]

As you mentioned your input is [1,0,omega*omega] which makes value of a, b, c as 1, 0 and omega*omega respectively.

Omega is a sym, which makes c a sym.

In this line of code

D=b^2-4*a*c;

D is also sym

Please note, sym is not a function. It will not evaluate and assign a result to D.

if(D>0)

So, when you compare D(sym) with 0 (double), system throws error because sym can’t be compared to a numeric value.

If you really want to compare D with 0, you will have to first substitute the value of 'omega' in D. The way to do that is by using subs, which will substitute the value.

You can do something like -

if(double(subs(D, yourvalue))>0)
