Why do I get an index error?

Here in this part of my code
r3 = randi([1 N],[G 1]);
for i = 1:G
ch = ceil(r3(i,1)/3840);
[r, c] = ind2sub([4 960],r3-((ch-1)*3840));
if Ma{ch,1}(r,c) == 0
Ma{ch,1}(r,c) = 1;
else
Ma{ch,1}(r,c) = 0;
end
end
'r' and 'c' can't be zero, but I get:
??? Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or
logicals
Would you please help me with this?

[r, c] = ind2sub([4 960],r3-((ch-1)*3840));
The values inside ind2sub should be positive integers. In your case they might be taking zeros and/or negative values. Check that.

But I think the smallest amount that this term can get:
r3-((ch-1)*3840
is 1! not negative not 0...

On which line does this error occur?
If it's on the line where you define r3, you've probably created a variable named randi that is shadowing the built-in randi function.
For the line where you define ch, you've probably shadowed ceil.
In either of these cases, rename or remove the variable.

It's not clear what you're trying to do with your code, but clearly it's not going to work
r3 is a vector with values between 1 and an unknown N. So, let's assume that r3(1) is N and r3(2) is 1. Because of the way you create ch it is an integer at least 1, and more if N > 3840. For the error you see, N must be at least 3841, so let's assume that,
So, for i = 1, r3(i) = 3840, and ch = ceil(3841/3840) = 2. You then have
r3 - ((ch-1)*3840) = [3841 1] - (1 * 3840) = [3841 1] - 3840 = [1 -3839]
As you can see you've got a very negative index here. It gets even worse if N > 2*3840.
Note that there is no point in the ind2sub call in your code. You could just as well use the linear index to index Ma{ch} with absolutely no change of behaviour.

I thought my demonstration was clear. Create the following variables:
N = 3841; %minimum value for the error to occur
r3 = [N; 1]; %a possible output of your randi. Don't need any more elements to break your code. G is irrelevant.
i = 1; %first pass of the loop
Now, look at the values of
ch = ceil(r3(i) / 3840) %is ceil(3841/3840) = 2
r3 - ((ch - 1) * 3840
You'll see that the output of the last expression is
[1; -3839]
Anyway, it would be much better if you told us what you're trying to achieve as I'm fairly certain you're going at it completely wrong.

Hi Sherwin, May be there shouldn't be negative indices, but there actually are negative indices, as Guillaume has pointed out. Here is an example, running your code:
G = 2;
r3 = [1; 3841];
for i = 1:G
ch = ceil(r3(i,1)/3840);
[r, c] = ind2sub([4 960],r3-((ch-1)*3840))
end
which for i=2 comes up with
c = -959
1
Perhaps you want to have r3(i,1) on the fourth line of your original code so as to make a single index instead of a vector's worth.
