Well, you haven't actually told us what the problem you're encountering is, but right away I can see several problems. First, your while loop condition is i<=maxIter, but you haven't defined i anywhere. As a result, MATLAB is using the built-in i, i.e., sqrt(-1). In this case, when checking whether i<=maxIter, MATLAB only considers the real part of i, which is 0, and therefore (i<=maxIter) evaluates to true.
Furthermore, since i isn't changing inside the loop, it will always be the case that i<=maxIter, and therefore your loop will never end.
If you want to do this loop a set number of times, you should use a for loop, not a while:
for i = 1:maxIter
<stuff>
end
