Matlab cannot produce result

.
function Y = myFunction(d,n,theta)
Y = coinflip(100,100,0.25);
d = 100;
n = 100;
theta = 0.25;
Y = [ ];
for Dloop = 1:d
for Nloop = 1:n
X =randn(1);
Y = [Y;X];
end
end
Y(Y<theta) = 0;
Y(Y>theta) = 1;
histogram(Y)
(I get some errors as below -)
function Y = myFunction(d,n,theta)
Error: Function definition not supported in this context.
Create functions in code file.
(another error is as below)
Error in myFunction (line 2)
Y = coinflip(100,100,0.25);
(other error is as below)
Y = coinflip(100,100,0.25);
Undefined function or variable 'coinflip'.
.
Here please help me to modify the errors and able to produce one correct output graph

The error messages are very descriptive. You cannot create a function in the command window and coinflip is not defined.
You probably meant to do this:
d= 100;
n = 100;
theta = 0.25;
output = coinflip(d,n,theta);
function Y = coinflip(d,n,theta)
Y = zeros(d*n, 1);
for Nloop = 1:n
for Dloop = 1:d
Y(Nloop*Dloop) = rand;
end
end
Y(Y<theta) = 0;
Y(Y>theta) = 1;
histogram(Y)
end
You should also preallocate Y as I showed. Not sure why you want a nested for loop or what your plans are though.

Your programming is not correct
Undefined function or variable 'coinflip'.
That's because you pasted it into the command window. You can't define functions in there, so instead you should save the code as an m-file and execute it in the editor.

I understand but get same problems
Undefined function or variable 'coinflip'.
Can I use another code - do not want using function
Then define it. It's not built into MATLAB, so you need to define what that function does.

How to define
Please do not waste any time
Write useful code show to me and save time
Much love to you my man, but I hope you will adopt a better attitude, because I don't think you're going to learn much this way.
I understand but I need to finish my task urgently
Other people they talk so many but mostly useless
Please help as best as you can
He already did help you and wrote some code that seems like it does what you want to do. I ran it (the attached code) and it ran fine. What did you do differently????
He pasted it into the command window :D

function Y = myFunction(d,n,theta)
Y = coinflip(100,100,0.25);
d = 100;
n = 100;
theta = 0.25;
Y = [ ];
for Dloop = 1:d
for Nloop = 1:n
X = randn(1);
Y = [Y;X];
end
end
Y(Y<theta) = 0;
Y(Y>theta) = 1;
histogram(Y)
Now I can run but the output graph why show some negative numbers?
Kindly please refer to the attached file - Computer Project
There are no negative numbers. There is a bar centered at 0 with 8000 counts, and one centered at 1 with 2000 counts. If you want the x axis to show only the bar centers, then add this line as the last line of your coinflip() function:
xticks(0:1)

Sorry I cannot understand
Can you please show all the detail information
I would like to compare it to the two graphs (in attached file Question 2)

Matlab Programming - I am not sure how to modify it to get the two graphs in Question 2

for Dloop = 1:d
for Nloop = 1:n
