matlab attempt to execute script as a function

I have an error when trying to plot a polar chart in matlab:

% polar plot of z
r = 1.2; theta = 10*pi/180;
angle = 0:theta:36*theta; mag = r.^(angle/theta);
polar(angle,mag)
grid
title('Polar Plot')

Attempt to execute SCRIPT polar as a function.
On line 4 ==> polar(angle,mag)

Thanks.

hi
i ran your program in matlab 7 and it worked successfully.
i think error belong to "angle" because it is one of matlab functions.
use:

r = 1.2; theta = 10*pi/180;
ang = 0:theta:36*theta; mag = r.^(ang/theta);
polar(ang,mag)
grid
title('Polar Plot')

I got the same error. Have installed version 5.3, how can I verify what functions I have available ? You got a polar chart when run it ?

Tks.

Try changing the name of your script file. Use something else instead of 'polar'
