why is my code not working for a particular set of input?

If i give the input, it is working

femaleldlchdrisk([struct('age',22,'ldl',148,'hdl',20,'systolic',120,'diastolic',94,'hasdiabetes',false,'issmoker',true)])

if I give input as; this is not working

femaleldlchdrisk([struct('age',22,'ldl',148,'hdl',20,'systolic',120,'diastolic',94,'hasdiabetes',false,'issmoker',true) struct('age',42,'ldl',178,'hdl',50,'systolic',140','diastolic',104','hasdiabetes',false,'issmoker',true)])

code

function [total] = femaleldlchdrisk(P)

Your code doesn't support array inputs.

The easy way to deal with this is what I outline below. Note that this is not the optimal method.

function total = femaleldlchdrisk(P)
if numel(P)>1
    for n=1:numel(P)
        %this assumes a scalar output
        total(n)=femaleldlchdrisk(P(n));
    end
    return
end

%rest of your function goes here
