|Hack using ~ as a blank variable.
For example in the line [A B]=max(C), if the variable A is not needed you could write the line as [~ B]=max(C) and the the first output will not be created. This yields an error in Octave (and probably should in matlab).

Also make sure to note that if you are using Octave, this program's version of the function "firpm" (Remez Parks-McClellan Optimal FIR Filter Design), might be called "remez" and should work the same as "firpm" works in Matlab.
If you get something like the following error message:
??? Undefined function or method 'fft' for input arguments of type 'double',
it means you do not have the function installed in Octave or Matlab. So if you see this error while trying to access any of the signal processing functions, if you are using Octave, do the following instructions to install the Signals Package (and all of its dependency packages), if you are using Matlab and get this message, you will need to purchase (if for some reason you did not get the student version) and/or install the Signal Processing Toolbox, if you can use the functions, you should disregard the rest of this message. Some of your Octave programs might have come with these packages pre-installed.
To install the Signal Package (and all of its dependency packages) in Octave:
