Question

I am using MATLAB R2010b and I can’t understand what is wrong with matlab…

>> SSS = simpleseries_dataset;

>> [X,T] = SSS;

>> ???Too many output arguments.

but next code is good:

>> [X,T] = simpleseries_dataset;

Answer 1

simpleseries_dataset is a function; functions can have multiple outputs – if you type edit simpleseries_dataset, you can see the function definition:

function [inputs,targets] = simpleseries_dataset

When you run your first line of code, you have a single output variable – so inputs is stored in SSS and targets is discarded; assigning the output of a multiple output function to a single variable is equivalent to doing:

[SSS, ~] = simpleseries_dataset;

so if you want to keep both of the output values from simpleseries_dataset, you have to call the function with two outputs.
