Function with two outputs only giving one output

8 views (last 30 days)
function [C K] = FTOCK (degreeF)
%FTOCK converts degrees reading in farenheit to celcius and then kelvin
degreeF;
C=(degreeF-32)/1.8;
K=(degreeF+459.67)/1.8;
%fprintf('%.1f degrees in Farenheit Translates to %.2f degrees Celcius and %.2f degrees Kelvin\n',degreeF,C,K);
end
I do not know why this only outputs the calculated Celsius degree, K is clearly within the brackets.

Apparently, the code is right.
I assume you are new to matlab.
You should use
[C K] = FTOCK (degreeF)
to receive two outputs instead of
c = FTOCK (degreeF)

That is weird, maybe your matlab installation is unsuccessful. You can run this snippet on other computers or matlab online, it should work on any matlab release.

When you used
[C K] = FTOCK (degreeF)
then was there an error message, such as there not being enough outputs?
If not, then what happened when you
disp(C)
disp(K)
