The expression to the left of the equals sign is not a valid target for an assignment. In my code a calculate I o steady state, but my function is compost and matlab not recognize.

Please upload the correct file. The one above cannot be correct. > [@fabianowar](#): > > x(29): y\_exp; is not proper Matlab code. ---
