how to put a function with conditions in a parent function

Hello everyone ^^

Objective : I want to put a function (F1) 'with conditions' in another one (F2) ==> F2 = fct(F1)

I have implemented the attached code, which I can't get to work! knowing that the function (F1) works fine by itself,

error message : 'Not enough input arguments in F2' I have tried many things but I can't understand the error, if anyone can help me out of this problem, I would be very grateful,

thank you in advance!

function f = F2(R,t) 
  t = [0:0.1:48]';
  V = 1.408 + 1; 
  K1= 0.034701409774022; 
  r = F1(t);
  f = (1/V).*(1-exp(-((t.*V.*K1)+((t.*V)./(R.*r))))); 

  function r = F1(t)
    p1 =   2.585*10^(-06);  
    p2 =   -9.23*10^(-05); 
    p3 =    0.001032;  
    p4 =   -0.002989;  
    p5 =      0.7562;
    mask =  t <= 27;
    r(mask) =  p1.*t(mask).^4 + p2.*t(mask).^3 + p3.*t(mask).^2 + p4.*t(mask) + p5;
    mask = t > 27;
    r(mask) = 1;
  end 
end

Looks to be in the calling/use of F2, the functions themselves appear to be OK.

Although from a sytlistic standpoint you could save a little code in F1 by writing

    r=ones(size(t));            % preallocate; set to 1
    mask= (t<=27);              % set the range to use correlation results
    r(mask) =  p1*t(mask).^4 + p2*t(mask).^3 + p3*t(mask).^2 + p4*t(mask) + p5;

that saves one logical operation by setting all to 1 first, then fixing up those not to be 1. (I also introduced a set of parentheses that make, for me, the logical vector definition easier to read although they're not needed for syntax.)

One other shorthand using MATLAB builtin functions would be

function r = F1(t)
  r=ones(size(t));                                        % preallocate; set to 1
  p = [2.585e-6, -9.23e-5, 0.001032, -0.002989, 0.7562];  % put poly coeff in array
  mask= (t<=27);                                          % set the range to use correlation results
  r(mask) = polyval(p,t(mask));         % let polyval() do the hard work  to evaluate
end

How are you invoking F2 ?

function f = F2(R,t) 
  t = [0:0.1:48]';

Why are you overwriting the t that the user passed into the function?

Good catch on the use of t, Walter. I overlooked it, indeed.

Thank you very much! I am modifying my code according to your advice which helps me a lot,

I put the (t) just to know if it was the error ...

Thank you again and have a nice day,
