Make sure in your session you have no variable called title masking the title() function

  Name       Size     Bytes  Class     Attributes

  t          1x1          2  char                
  title      1x1          8  double              <<<<---- you dont want this!

Is there a way one could get a list of all reserved words, like this one, somewhere ? Just so, as a reference of what one should avoid ?

I do have this... title 1x4 8 char How do I eliminate this? Many thanks!

Restarting MATLAB did the trick. Many thanks or the help!

no need, just issue the command: `clear title`

@Idigas: I guess a combination of `iskeyword` and `which` could do that..

Many thanks for the help Amro!

@Idigas: Another way to check if a name `foo` is already used for a built-in function is to try `help foo` first and see if it returns anything.

@Idigas: If you are using the Matlab built-in editor, the keywords are easy to spot - they are the ones in bright blue :)
