totally incorrect calculation of matlab

I used quiver to plot a vector field. the code was :
[x,y]=meshgrid(0:1:20);
quiver(x,y,x^3-3*x*y,y^3-3*x^2*y)
However the results were completely different from expected, showing downward arrow at x=0, which should have been upward. Other arrows didn't match either.

Jaein, use instead
[x,y] = meshgrid(0:1:20);
quiver(x,y,x.^3-3*x.*y,y.^3-3*x.^2.*y) % note the dot-notation
