xmin= @(y) y.^2
xmax= @(y) y.^0.5
ymin=0
ymax=1
zmin=0
zmax=@(x,y,z) x+y+36
h = @(y,x,z) 1 %dz dx dy
answer3 = integral3(h, ymin, ymax , xmin , xmax , zmin, zmax);
answer3 = vpa(answer3,8)
%%why doesnt this code work, can someone help me

The integral() family of functions call the given function passing in vectors or arrays of values, expecting the same size of output, using element-wise computations.
So your h(y,x,z) was being called with non-scalar y, x, z, but you were returning the scalar constant 1 no matter what the input size was. You need to return one of those 1's for every input element.
