I can't find the mistake in the code

The following code takes a vector of coefficient p, defines a function that returns the value of the polynomial given the scalar input x, and returns a function to handle it. However, when the code is assessed with random polynomials fails. For example, "Incorrect answer for pf = poly_fun([ 0 6 7 5 0 8 1 8 6 -7 -4 ])". Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
function fh = poly_fun(p)
function polynomial = poly(x)
n = length(p)-1;
polynomial = sum(p.*x.^(n:-1:0));
end
fh = @poly;
end

I've seen two different conventions for representing polynomials as vectors of coefficients. The one used by functions like polyfit and polyval has the high order term as the first element.
p = [1 2 3];
x = 4;
v1 = polyval(p, x) % x^2+2*x+3 evaluated at x = 4 is 27
The other has the high order term as the last element.
v2 = p(1)+x*p(2)+x.^2*p(3) % 1+2*x+3*x^2 evaluated at x = 4 is 57
Based on the fact that the sample polynomial used in the grading of your assignment has 0 as its first element, I'm wondering if they're using the latter convention.
Alternately, does your assignment say your function should return a function handle or the numeric result of evaluating that polynomial?

You can't use "abs" since the coefficients/x values can be negative.

Depending of your inputs the direction of the sum may be wrong. This code is basically the same as yours but using the "(... ,2)" in the sum so the dimensions are right:
n = length(p)-1;
polynomial = @(x,p)(sum(p.*x.^((length(p)-1):-1:0),2 ));
A = polynomial( [-1:0.01:1]',[ 0 6 7 5 0 8 1 8 6 -7 -4 ] ); % Note the array dimensions
B = polyval([ 0 6 7 5 0 8 1 8 6 -7 -4 ],[-1:0.01:1]');
norm(A-B) % Compare with matlab polyval
ans =

If you workout the algorithm on a piece of paper or mentally by giving smaller arrays as input co-effcients like,
>> z = poly_fun([-1,2])
>> ans = z(2)
You'll now understand clearly how polynomial = sum(p.*x.^(n:-1:0)); is working.
For your logic to work, you can use, flip(p) before the nested function. Or you can use the same sum function to iterate from 0, without needing to flip.

function fh = poly_fun(p)
polynomial=0
function polynomial = poly(x)
polynomial=polyval(p(end:-1:1),x);
end
fh = @poly;
end
