The yyaxis function was introduced in release R2016a as indicated by the comment at the bottom of its documentation page. If you're using an older release take a look at the plotyy function and use hold on one or both of the axes then call plot with the appropriate axis handle as the first input argument to add a plot parented to the specified axes.

Thanks very much. I have four functions to plot. I want to plot three on one y axis and one function on the other y axis. I just tried plotyy but it didn't work. It still gives me an error. Any help? Please can u show me an example of what your just explained?

try the plotyy command. In the command window type

doc plotyy

to see examples of how to use the function.

Ok, try this:

 x = linspace(0,2*pi,100);
 y1 = 2*cos(x);
 y2 = -2*sin(x);
 y3 = 5*sin(2*x);
 y4 = -10.5*sin(5*x);
 [hAx,hLine1,hLine2] = plotyy([x' x' x'],[y1' y2' y3'],x,y4);
 axis tight
