Matlab 2012 doesn't run my functions properly

I wrote this m-file 

function adhamm = adhamm(a,b)
    adhamm = a+b
end

and when I try to run it via MATLAB's command line by writing

a = 2;
b = 3;
adhamm(a,b);

I get this error

Undefined function 'adhamm' for input arguments of type 'double'.

Why is this?

You've probably saved a variable with name adhamm. Type clear adhamm and try again.

These functions were not placed in the search path for the new version. MATLAB simply does not know where to find them. However, do NOT place them in a MATLAB toolbox directory. That is not the place to put your own functions. Put them in a separate directory that you will tell MATLAB how to find using the path tools. (If you cd to that directory, MATLAB will automatically look there, but that is not a good solution.)

You need to learn about the search path in matlab, and the tools matlab has to maintain search paths. Thus, addpath, savepath, rmpath, pathtool.

you saved your function with the name adhamm.m, right? Then try to execute the function within the folder of adhamm.m.
