ok here's the full code, i apologize. the error is in line 80 which is: s(L) = s(L-1) + step1; %The walker steps to the right

%% Part 1
d(1) = rand ; % Choosing a random number 
a(1) = 0 ; % Intial Position of Walker
o(1) = 1 ; % Intial time of the walk
step = 1 ; % The stepsize of the walker
for i = 2: 2500 % The walker takes 2500 steps 
    o(i) = i ; % This keeps track of the time 
    d(i) = rand ; %Retrieves a random value for the walker 
    if d(i) > .5 
        a(i) = a(i-1) + step ; %The walker steps to the right 
    elseif d(i) < .5 
        a(i) = a(i-1) - step ; %The walker steps to the left 
    end 
end

Omar, solving it depends on what you are trying to do in the code. If you got the code from someone else, then you should ask the author about this issue.

Omar Serag 2020-3-29

It is my code. I'm just trying to edit the step size, so it can be anywhere from 0 to 1. The error resides in the for loop. I'll try using the debugging tools on MATLAB. Thank you for your help though.

If you set a breakpoint just before that line you will notice the values of all your variables: s is a scalar and L has a value of 100. Then you try to do s(L-1), which will attempt to access the 99th position in s, which doesn't exist.

You should really try using the debugging tools, starting with the warnings mlint is giving you. Make sure to resolve those. If you are absolutely sure they don't apply to your specific situation you can right-click the orange underlined code and select the option to suppress the warning on that line. None of the warnings mlint is currently giving you should be ignored.

Matlab has very flexible debugging tools including breakpoints and the option to halt execution when an error has been thrown. Use them to your advantage.
