The function vcx takes just one input. If you want the covariance between just two columns, you need to concatenation them together, or pull out just those two columns by index. For example:

//Create 25x3 matrix
y = rndn(25, 3);

//Calculate covariance of 1st and 3rd columns
cv_y = vcx(x[., 1 3]);

//Calculate covariance of 1st and 2nd columns
cv_y = vcx(x[., 1:2]);
