Parse/Syntax Error

I am writing a simple functin to solve for a frequency (OmegaD) and cannot figure out what the problem is, although it says it's an issue with syntax.

The name of the file: Parametros2doOrden.m

Here's the code:

Lamda = 0.3333
OmegaN= 3
OmegaD = OmegaN(sqrt(1-(lamda**2));

The error shown in the command window is the following:

>> Parametros2doOrden

parse error near line 3 of file /Users/guzmanleo17/Parametros2doOrden.m

  syntax error

%tiempoP = pi/omegad;megad;mda**2)));

lamda**2 is Fortran. I presume you want lamda^2 instead

Thank you for the reply. Right, I tried both lamda**2 and lamda^2 but keep getting the same error as shown in my original post.

I just noticed this also

OmegaN(...

should be

OmegaN*...

[Les Beckham]

You are also missing a parenthesis on this line (in addition to the multiplication that James pointed out).

OmegaD = OmegaN(sqrt(1-(lamda**2));

@Les: It's not that there is a missing ) at the end, it is that the first ( is erroneous and should be a * instead.

Good point.
