Error:Index exceeds matrix dimensions.

Question

0 个投票

I have two arrays;

 onpointX1 =
   NaN   NaN   NaN   NaN   NaN   NaN   NaN   
 onpointX2 =
       NaN       NaN       NaN       NaN       NaN    0.5830    0.5161

Note that the elements which are not NaN always equal to crossX(k,1) or crossX(k,2).

I run a for loop,

 for k=1:length(onpointX1) 
  onpointX1(8)=onpointX1(1);
  onpointX2(8)=onpointX2(1);

I get an error when the for loop is at k=7

Index exceeds matrix dimensions.

at;

    else if isnan(onpointX1(k)) && onpointX2(k)==crossX(k,2)&& onpointX1(k+1)==crossX(k+1,1) && isnan(onpointX2(k+1))

I can not understand why this happens because I have defined onpointX1(8) and onpointX2(8) right after initiationg the for loop.

Can anybody help me with this? Thanks.

What is the actual code you're running?

What is crossX?

Use the debugger for further investigations:

dbstop if error

Run the code again until it stops at the error and check the dimensions of the used variables:

size(onpointX1)
size(onpointX2)
size(crossX)

Then you will find out, which variable causes the error.

Debugging locally is more efficient than asking the forum, which cannot guess the details.
