I am new to coding and I have no idea what to actually call the problem I have so I cant look to see if a solution is posted. I have an array of 224 data points(made a huge array cause my text file was not uploading) and I need to make a graph of a sum of each points. So I need the first number in my array to be the initial value then add the second number to it and plot the sum of those two. Then add the third to that and plot that sum and so on. I know I need to do a for loop but I am not sure how to do it. I will just do the first 5 points to show what I did on a smaller scale. The error is in my for loop.
x=1:5;
y= [ 1 4 9 12 13];
for i=1:5
P(i+1)=y(i+1)+y(i);
end
plot(x,P)
I may have gone about this all wrong and if I did just let me know. Any help is greatly appreciated. The graph should have the points (1,1) (2,5) (3,14) (4,26) (5, 39) incase I explained it poorly

Hi Vezzaz: It sounds like the function you're looking for is cumsum, you don't need a loop!
x = 1:5;
y = [1 4 9 12 13];
yc = cumsum(y)
plot(x,yc)
