Hi, I have a problem when generating multiple points from two x & y functions inside a for loop. If I use the plot function to plot x and y, then the curve will not appear. If I use the scatter function it will plot each point though, but I want a smooth curve.
figure; hold on
for u = 0:.01:10
x = (1-u)^3*1+3*(1-u)^2*u*3+3*(1-u)*u^2*5+u^3*8;
y = (1-u)^3*1+3*(1-u)^2*u*0.5+3*(1-u)*u^2*2.5+u^3*2;
plot(x,y)
scatter(A(1,:),A(2,:))
xlim([0 10])
ylim([0 4])
end
hold off
Also, is there already a built-in function which will achieve what I'm trying to do? If not what would be the best way to create a function to use for future reference?

Hi Michael,
For your case, for is not recommendded. Instead, use vectors and dot operations to get your code working well. The following code should work.
figure; hold on u = 0:.01:10; x = (1-u).^3*1 + 3*(1-u).^2.*u*3 + 3*(1-u).*u.^2*5 + u.^3*8; y = (1-u).^3*1 + 3*(1-u).^2.*u*0.5 + 3*(1-u).*u.^2*2.5 + u.^3*2; plot(x,y) xlim([0 10]) ylim([0 4]) hold off

Thank you, the code works perfectly. Can you explain the logic a bit more though? you say use vectors and dot operations. When I create a range of numbers for variable u, does that mean it is now a size(1,i) vector where i is determined by the increment of the range? If u is a vector does that mean when I input it into the function for x & y, then x & y are now vectors with the same size of u? I don't understand where the dot operation is being conducted. Also, is the for loop incorrect because x & y act as constants with individual u values when implemented in a for loop? and the plot function is meant to pass a vector if I want to generate a curve?

The way your did first, only one value was being calculated per iteration and you were plotting a single point, not a set of points. Plot needs to have two vectors and it connects all the points with a curve. The dot operation is necessary to work with vectors. Dot operation means that you are multiplying or powering element by element, not the whole vector or matrix.
