Code not working.

Hi, I got this code on the mit website, However I am not able to run the code please have a look

%---------------------------------------------------------------------
levels = 5;                                          % size of problem
nu1 = 2;                           % number of presmoothing iterations
nu2 = 2;                          % number of postsmoothing iterations
gamma = 2;   % number of coarse grid iterations (1=V-cycle, 2=W-cycle)
%---------------------------------------------------------------------
n = 2^(levels+2)-1;                            % number of grid points
h = 1/(n+1);
x = (h:h:(1-h))';
f = pi^2*(sin(pi*x)+4^2*sin(pi*4*x)+9^2*sin(pi*9*x));
A = spdiags(ones(n,1)*[-1 2 -1],-1:1,n,n);
b = f*h^2;
uc = A\b;
global t level, t = 0; level = levels;
clf, subplot(2,2,3:4), hold on
u = twogrid(A,b,nu1,nu2,gamma);
hold off, axis tight
subplot(2,2,1), plot(x,u,'b.-',x,uc,'r.--')
title('correct solution and multigrid approximation')
subplot(2,2,2), plot(x,uc-u,'r.-')
title('error')

It appears to work fine for me.

Note: in order to use a "function", the code for the function must be written in to a .m file and that .m file must start with the word "function" (or sometimes "classdef"). It is not allowed to enter a function at the command prompt, and it is not allowed to have a "function" in a .m file that starts with executable code such as an assignment.

You can store from "function x = twogrid" onward in a file named twogrid.m . Or you can store everything in one .m file, provided that you start that .m file with

   function TheNameOfTheFileGoesHere

For example I used

function test258671

and stored it all in test258671.m
