Hello! How I can use output data from one function as an input for another. And write it in one function

Hi! Kindly ask to check where I did mistake . I am trying to use output data [A, B, C, D, E] from another function reflection5 (i calculated it in reflection5 function)

in new function planeLocation5 as an input

this is one function file

function [p, Xr, Yr, Zr, Theta, Phi, Plane ] = planeLocation5(A, B, C, D, E)

[A, B, C, D, E] = reflection5(X0, Y0, Z0, Theta0, Phi0); %i believe this should be correct, butit doesnt work

planes(:,:,1) = [0 3 3; 0 0 3; 0 3 0; 0 0 0; 0 0 0];

planes(:,:,2) = [0 0 3; 3 0 3; 0 0 0; 3 0 0; 0 0 0];

.......

end

at the end I will combine in one main

Why not just call them like this?:

[A, B, C, D, E] = reflection5(X0, Y0, Z0, Theta0, Phi0);
[p, Xr, Yr, Zr, Theta, Phi, Plane ] = planeLocation5(A, B, C, D, E);

Hi @Stephen23 thank you for your answer. I am calling like this in main where I apply for loop for both function. But when I want run function planeLocation5 separately in planeLocation5.m file I am trying to call data output from function reflection5

Hello Aknur,

To pass the output of one function to another function as arguments, you need to define and call the functions correctly. Here is a sample code for achieving the same:

function [X, Y, Z] = fun1(a, b, c)
[a, b, c] = fun2(3, 4); % calling fun2 with 3, 4
X = a;
Y = b;
Z = c;
end

function [a, b, c] = fun2(j, k)
    a = j;
    b = k;
    c = j+k;
end

[X, Y, Z] = fun1(1, 2, 3); % calling fun1 with 1, 2, 3

Please make sure that you are following this format. You can place fun1 and fun2 in different files.

I hope this helps!
