I want to claculate the area between red and green curves using trapz but im not getting the exact result and it is showing error while calculating.can anyone tell how can i calculate area? I attached code for reference.

i don't think the code you include in your question content related to what you want.
you have to vector, which are values of your curves at your grid points x.
here's an example for doing this task:
x = 0:0.1:20;
y1 = exp(x/2);
y2 = (x).^3;
dY = abs(y1-y2);
plot(x,y1,'Color','r','LineWidth',2);
hold on; grid on;
plot(x,y2,'Color','g','LineWidth',2);
plot(x,dY,'Color','b','LineWidth',2);
legend('y1 = exp(x/2)','y2= x^3','|y1-y2|','Location','best');
Diff = trapz(x,dY);
disp(['Area between 2 Curves :' num2str(Diff)])
Area between 2 Curves :26164.3149

Thank you for the help. But i want to calculate area between curve given by "ypl(i)" and "yps1(i)" over x domain as XPaxisl(i) as noted in a code attached by me.
