[Solved] Matlab index error

Question

I don’t even know how that code could even run. x is not defined anywhere and you suddenly are starting to use it in your for loop at the beginning. My guess is that you have some code defined somewhere earlier on, those iterations start happening and then once those iterations end, this function runs. That makes sense since I don’t see any print-out statements anywhere in your code.

That’s what the error is alluding to. It is stating that you are trying to index into x with indices that exceed the dimensions of x. In this case, x has no dimensions (i.e. empty). As such, no matter what indices you are using to try to index into x, MATLAB will give you an index exceeding error.

You need to either define x by providing it as an input into your function, or define it inside the function itself.
