Hi everybody,
I am a newby at Octave, I am trying to solve a one order differential equation. Thats my code:
function y = f (x,t)
y = 5-2x;
endfunction
first = 2;
t - linspace(0,20,100)
s = lsode("f","first",t);
plot(t,s,"r-")
And this is my error:
parse error near line 2 of file .../dif.m
syntax error
>>> y = 5-2x;
                    ^

You neglected to multiply

y = 5 - 2 * x;
