Using stateflow with matlab R2015b.
In the first state that is connected to the "default transition" arrow, I tried to use a simple if statement as shown below
IDLE
entry:
if(a==0)
b=1;
else
b=0;
end
Compiler is indicating that this is an error as follows:
else
^^^^^
'IDLE' has an action with no side effect.
Occurred in chart 'testSubsystem/testChart', 'IDLE'. [2 similar]

Parsing failed for machine: 'test'

I'm seriously confused why a simple if statement is not compiling right. I have attached the statflow project to this question for good measure Any help would be highly appreciated, Amish
