Why wont my code plot anything

clear
for n = 1:10
e = 1/factorial(n);
end
disp('calculated value for e = ')
disp(e)
percent_error = e/exp(1)*100
plot(1:10,e)

It doesn't appear to plot because e is a scalar. e is a scalar because it's overwritten each time through the loop.
Instead, make e a vector, one element of which is calculated each time through the loop. Then the plot will show up:
clear
for n = 1:10
% e = 1/factorial(n);
e(n) = 1/factorial(n);
end
disp('calculated value for e = ')
calculated value for e =
disp(e)
1.0000 0.5000 0.1667 0.0417 0.0083 0.0014 0.0002 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000
percent_error = e/exp(1)*100
percent_error = 1×10
36.7879 18.3940 6.1313 1.5328 0.3066 0.0511 0.0073 0.0009 0.0001 0.0000
plot(1:10,e)

thanks for the answer, i saw alot of people talking about scalers and vectors in similar questons but didnt understand how to make e a vector seems so simple now. thanks
You're welcome! Yep, it's easy when you know how.
