Hi,

You need to save your function to a file before you can use it.

In Octave and Matlab the file name must be the same as the name of the function it contains with the extension .m added.

The file must be stored somewhere in octave's path in order to use it.

All this is explained in detail in the manual chapter on scripts and functions (I suspect you actually intended to write a script not a function) but that may be a bit hard to read if you start completely from scratch.

I instead suggest you go through one of the infinitely many Octave/Matlab step-by-step tutorials for absolute beginners that exist out there before you try to write your own functions.
