MatLab Output Argument Error

This is my code:
function [COP,Qdot]=james(T1,T2)
temperature=menu('Temperature Scale','Fahrenheit','Centigrade','Kelvin','Rankine');
if temperature == 1
T_C= (5/9)*(T1-32)+273;
T_H= (5/9)*(T2-32)+273;
end
if temperature == 2
T_C= T1+273;
T_H= T2+273;
end
if temperature == 3
T_C= T1;
T_H= T2;
end
if temperature == 4
T_C= (5/9)*(T1);
T_H= (5/9)*(T2);
end
if T_H>=T_C
COP=(T_C/(T_H-T_C));
if COP >= 0
COP=(T_C/(T_H-T_C));
fprintf('The coefficient of performance is %f \n',COP)
else
beep
disp('Ensure that T_Cold is not greater than T_Hot and that T_Cold and T_Hot are equal or greater than zero when converted to Kelvin')
end
end
if T_H>=T_C
h=50;
A=1;
Qdot=h*A*(T_C-T_H);
if COP>=0
Qdot=h*A*(T_C-T_H);
fprintf('The heat transfer due to convection is %f W \n', Qdot)
end
else
beep
disp('Ensure that T1 is not greater than T2')
end
end
I enter this command:
[COP,Qdot]=james(110,80);
and get:
Error in james (line 4)
temperature=menu('Temperature Scale','Fahrenheit','Centigrade','Kelvin','Rankine');
Output argument "COP" (and maybe others) not assigned during call to
"C:\Users\....".
Where am I going wrong in my code? I do not know where exactly I am going wrong because everything seems to be called for.
