Array indices must be positive integers or logical values error when using cell arrays

The following code is supposed to add a function of x to a function handle f whose coefficients depend on the entries of a cell array a.
a = {{'P',8,0},{'l',-8,0,4},{'P',40,4},{'P',6,-16}}
x = linspace(0,6);
f = @(x) 0;
f= f(x) + a{1}{2}*x.^7
for i = 1:numel(a)
if a{i}{1} == 'P'
f = f(x) + a{i}{2}*x;
end
end
There are no problems in doing this when a polynomial is added outside the for loop but the error message is displayed because of the polynomial a{i}{2}*x which is included in the for loop.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this issue?

You are overwriting the function handle f. Change the name of variable in which you are storing the sum.
a = {{'P',8,0},{'l',-8,0,4},{'P',40,4},{'P',6,-16}}
x = linspace(0,6);
f = @(x) 0;
f_ = f(x) + a{1}{2}*x.^7
for i = 1:numel(a)
if a{i}{1} == 'P'
f_ = f(x) + a{i}{2}*x;
end
end
