How to convert expression to function?

Hi, I am trying to convert my expression to a function, but when I remove the informative text I can not call/run the function. How can I fix this?
w=input('Please enter a vector B=[B1 B2 B3]: ');
c2 = [0 B(2) -B(3)];
c3 = [0 -B(2) B(3)];
c2 = B2/norm(B2)
c3 = B3/norm(B3)
disp(' ');
c2=1*B2;
c3=1*-B2;
disp('The following vectors fulfill the demands above:')
disp(' ');
disp(['c2=[' num2str(c2(1)) ',' num2str(c2(2)) ',' num2str(c2(3)) ']'])
disp(['c3=[' num2str(c3(1)) ',' num2str(c3(2)) ',' num2str(c3(3)) ']'])
disp(' ');
I have tried to add the function expression, as follows:
function(c2,c3) = Test(B)
w=input('Please enter a vector B=[B1 B2 B3]: ');
c2 = [0 B(2) -B(3)];
c3 = [0 -B(2) B(3)];
c2 = B2/norm(B2)
c3 = B3/norm(B3)
disp(' ');
c2=1*B2;
c3=1*-B2;
disp('The following vectors fulfill the demands above:')
disp(' ');
disp(['c2=[' num2str(c2(1)) ',' num2str(c2(2)) ',' num2str(c2(3)) ']'])
disp(['c3=[' num2str(c3(1)) ',' num2str(c3(2)) ',' num2str(c3(3)) ']'])
disp(' ');

function [c2,c3]=test()
w=input('Please enter a vector B=[B1 B2 B3]: ');
c2 = [0 B(2) -B(3)];
c3 = [0 -B(2) B(3)];
c2 = B2/norm(B2)
c3 = B3/norm(B3)
disp(' ');
c2=1*B2;
c3=1*-B2;
disp('The following vectors fulfill the demands above:')
disp(' ');
disp(['c2=[' num2str(c2(1)) ',' num2str(c2(2)) ',' num2str(c2(3)) ']'])
disp(['c3=[' num2str(c3(1)) ',' num2str(c3(2)) ',' num2str(c3(3)) ']'])
disp(' ');
end
here C2 and C3 as output arduments, if not required, you can avoid them too to just display

Thanks, but I am tryigng to get rid of the informative texts, such as ('Please enter a vector B=[B1 B2 B3]: ') and ('The following vectors fulfill the demands above:') and still be able to run the funktion.
Is the B1,B2, and B3 are scalars or vector?
Is B2 or B(2) you considered as same?
Is this, You didnot answered my question, hence I have to guess
Is this
function [c2,c3]=test(B2,B3)
c2=[0 B2 -B3];
c3=[0 -B2 B3];
c2=B2/norm(B2);
c3=B3/norm(B3);
c2=1*B2;
c3=1*-B2;
disp('The following vectors fulfill the demands above:')
disp(' ');
fprintf('c2=%f',c2)
fprintf('c3=%f',c3)
end
Please note that you have replace the c2 and c3 vectors by scalar in later section of the code, also I have no clue what you trying to do.

B1 and B2 are vectors and B2 is the same as B(2).
This is not same in MATLAB, B2 just a variable name, whereas B(2) accessing the second index element of variable B / array B
But if I try to write as follows, I can not call the function or run it since the informative text is removed. I want to be able to run the function and put in values for B=B1,B2,B3 without the informative text in the code.
function [c2,c3]=test(B)
c2 = [0 B(2) -B(3)];
c3 = [0 -B(2) B(3)];
c2 = B2/norm(B2)
c3 = B3/norm(B3)
disp(' ');
c2=1*B2;
c3=1*-B2;
disp(' ');
disp(['c2=[' num2str(c2(1)) ',' num2str(c2(2)) ',' num2str(c2(3)) ']'])
disp(['c3=[' num2str(c3(1)) ',' num2str(c3(2)) ',' num2str(c3(3)) ']'])
disp(' ');
end
... Delete the disp() calls?
