That suggests you have at least one code path through your function that
assigns values to all your output arguments and at least one code path
through your function that does not.

If none of these conditions are satisfied then y will not be assigned a
value. It may look like this covers everything, but this assumes x is not
NaN and x is not exactly equal to B1 (assuming C1 > B1.)
One way to detect this would be to assign y the value NaN BEFORE this
IF/ELSE section. You could then check if isnan(y) at the end of the function
and use KEYBOARD to allow you to investigate why y was not assigned a value.
