issues extracting sub matrix

matrix x=[1:10]. I need to extract the submatrix s=[6, 4, 2] from x. every time i try to use the command:
x=[1:10]
s=[(min(x)+5:2:max(x)-6)]
i get this error, when the solution should be s= 6, 4:*
s =
1×0 empty double row vector
any help as to why this function will not extract a submatrix would be appreciated!

Well, if you want extra useless character why not
x = [[[((((1)'*(((1)'')''+(0)')'')'':-(-1):10^1))]]]
It produces the same result as
x = 1:10
Matlab allows the addition (there's no omission, no bracket is the default state) of plenty of characters that may or may not do anything depending on context. Useless clutter does not make the code more readable.

It seems like this operator for concatenation is confused with a constructor of vectors, but this is a misunderstanding. It is not just my opinion or a question of taste, but even Matlab's code analyser suggests to omit this clutter by showing an MLint warning in the editor. This might not convince you, but it convinces me. And therefore you are correct: I will keep telling users of this forum how to improve Matlab code.
See Answers: why-not-use-square-brackets for more details and an example of speeding up indexing by a factor of 4 by avoiding the brackets around an indexing vector.

The only safe way to make your expression work for any arbitrary x where min(x)+5 may or may not be greater than max(x)-6 is to make the sign of the increment dependent on the sign of the difference between the bounds. Therefore:
x = 1:10; %brackets not needed!
startbound = min(x)+5;
endbound = max(x)-6;
if endbound > startbound
s = startbound:2:endbound;
else
s = startbound:-2:endbound;
end

Because
(min(x)+5<max(x)-6)
=
0
With a positive step, unless you provide the initial element of the range smaller than the end element MATLAB will not attempt to guess it.
s=[max(x)-6:2:min(x)+5]
=
4 6
or you provide a negative step
s=[(min(x)+5:-2:max(x)-6)]
s =
6 4
.

Another solution:
x = 1:10;
a = min(x)+5;
b = max(x)-6;
s = x(a:(2 * sign(b-a)):b); % Fails for a==b, thanks Guillaume
w = 2 * (-1 + 2 * (b > a)); % Not cute
s = x(a:w:b);

Works as long, as a ~= b. Otherwise you get an increment of zero and thus an empty vector.
