bin_str = input('Enter binary number: ', 's');
i = length(bin_str);
disp(i);
n = ceil(i/4);
disp(n);
for g = n : -1 : 1
if i > 4
hex_str(g) = b2h(bin_str(i-3 : i));
i = i - 4;
else
hex_str(g) = b2h(bin_str(1 : i));
end
end
function h = b2h(b)
switch b
case {'0', '00', '000', '0000'}
h = '0';
case {'1', '01', '001', '0001'}
h = '1';
case {'10', '010', '0010'}
h = '2';
case {'11', '011', '0011'}
h = '3';
case {'100', '0100'}
h = '4';
case {'101', '0101'}
h = '5';
case {'110', '0110'}
h = '6';
case {'111', '0111'}
h = '7';
case '1000'
h = '8';
case '1001'
h = '9';
case '1010'
h = 'A';
case '1011'
h = 'B';
case '1100'
h = 'C';
case '1101'
h = 'D';
case '1110'
h = 'E';
case '1111'
h = 'F';
end
I am trying to take the binary input and convert it into hexadecimal value,but im getting the following error:
??? Error: File: filename.m Line: 19 Column: 1 Function definitions are not permitted in this context
I can't understand this error.. What changes should i need to make in order to get the correct output?
Pls help me! Thank you

You have a script and try to define a function in line 19. This is not allowed. You have to either define b2h in a different file or turn your script into a function.
BTW, is there a particular reason why you do not use
dec2base(bin2dec(bin_str), 16)

b = {'1100100101111111101';'1100000011001'};
out = dec2hex(bin2dec(b));
