It is. Matlab does not allow a script to contain function defintions;
Octave does.
But if the first non-comment token is "function", then Octave treats
the file as a function, not a script. So put something besides
"function ..." a the beginning of the script. For example:
1; ## This is a script, not a function.
function foo (...)
...
end
Smax = ...;
...
foo (Smax, ...)
Please see also:

which provides more detail.
