Euler Method without using ODE solvers

I am trying to write a code that will solve a first order differential equation using Euler's method(Improved Euler's, Modified Euler's, and Euler-Cauchy). I don't want to use an ode solver, rather would like to use numerical methods which will return values for (x,y) and f(x,y) and plot of function f. I'm not sure how to begin to write this in MATLAB. I have solved the equation by hand and I'm now trying to write a code that solves that equation. Formulas for Improved Euler's, Modified Euler's, and Euler-Cauchy which I need to use are:
Improved Euler's:

Modified Euler's:

Euler-Cauchy's:

The equation to be used is y'=xy^2+y, y(0)=1, x∈[0,0.5], with step h=0.05
Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

What have you done so far? Can you code up the simple Euler's Method? E.g., if you started with this generic expression of Euler's Method:
y(i+1) = y(i) + h * f(x(i),y(i))
can you put that inside of a MATLAB m-code for loop to generate results for some range of x with a given h?
Then, using that code, modify it for the other methods you are interested in.
Your "Modified Euler's" method doesn't look like Modified Euler to me ... it just looks like Euler's method using a h/2 step instead of a h step. (Maybe there is more to these methods in your doc that you didn't post?). E.g., see this link:

What code are you running? If you have a different problem to solve, it would be better to open up a new question.
