Figure but no plot

The code has no errors but won't show a plot, what am i doing wrong?
clear all, close all, clc
diffmax=100
x=0;0.1;diffmax
plot(f(x))
hold on
xlabel('x')
ylabel('velocity')
axis([0 diffmax 0 30])
function velocity=f(x)
if x>75
velocity = 25;
else
velocity = x/3;
end
end

I have now changed the code bc the slope that was plotted was wrong. I created a matrix y to plot against x, instead of calling the function in plot(f(x). However the plot then disappeared again..
I have colons for x this time, have i missed something else?
clear all, close all, clc
matris=[]
diffmax=100
x=0:diffmax
for i=1:diffmax
y=f(x(i))
matris=[matris;y]
end
plot(x, y)
hold on
xlabel('x')
ylabel('velocity')
axis([0 diffmax 0 30])
function velocity=f(x)
if x>75
velocity = 25;
disp('rad 18')
else
velocity = x/3;
disp('rad 21')
end
end

You have not defined f in your code...you need to define f and then call plot...something like this:
diffmax=100
x=0:0.1:diffmax ;
f = @(x) sin(x)
plot(x,f(x))

Thank you for the quick answer!
So it is not enough to have f as a function of x and have x defined??

If you have defined an anonymous function (like in the answer), then you have to substitue it to get the function values for the given inputs.
ok ill try it!
clear all, close all, clc
diffmax=100
diffmax = 100
x=0:0.1:diffmax
x = 1×1001
0 0.1000 0.2000 0.3000 0.4000 0.5000 0.6000 0.7000 0.8000 0.9000 1.0000 1.1000 1.2000 1.3000 1.4000 1.5000 1.6000 1.7000 1.8000 1.9000 2.0000 2.1000 2.2000 2.3000 2.4000 2.5000 2.6000 2.7000 2.8000 2.9000
plot(f(x))
hold on
xlabel('x')
ylabel('velocity')
axis([0 diffmax 0 30])
function velocity=f(x)
if x>75
velocity = 25;
else
velocity = x/3;
end
end

Here is the issue, the rest code is perfectly OK
x=0:0.1:diffmax
%..^ ..^ not semicolon, its colon

Note that there is no f defined in the code.

Sir, I dont think it is required, as f as function call within plot command. Can you share more please? Thanks
i have semicolons in my code, this snippet is from the answer from KSSV!

@Clara Replace with colon in your original code, I have tried to answer this "

Ohh yes, the function f is defined at the bottom. Just now I am having a look...I have copied only the first few lines..as the problem was in first line.
Sorry i misunderstood. It worked, thank you very much!!
Hope your problem is resolved anyway.
Happy :)
