(Help again) My main issue is that none of the functions (isColliding and handlemalletcollision) are called into the main code so it isn't doing anything. The functions are unused. They told me to add them into the main code for them to work but I'm unsure of how to do that, every time I mess around with it, my code breaks. Please help. This is a MATLAB code and please write out the full code and explain how and why you did what you did. THANK YOU. They said the main issue is in the collision part of the while loop.

My MATLAB code:

function air_hockey_rink()

% figure and axes

ax = axes('XLim', [0, 100], 'YLim', [0, 50], 'Position', [0, 0, 1, 1]);

axis off; hold on; axis equal;

rectangle('Position', [circleX, circleY, circleDiameter, circleDiameter], 'Curvature', [1, 1], 'EdgeColor', 'k', 'LineWidth', 2);

I submitted this earlier but they didn't help me at all, please show how you integrated it INTO the while loop and not just fix the function itself. but also if there is an issue in the function please fix it.

Thank you
