Getting "Error: This statement is incomplete."

Hello. This is my code and I keep getting the error "This statement is incomplete." several times throughout but can't find the mistake.
6
figure (6);
v1 = [1 0 -5 0 0 4];
k=1;
for i=[-3 : 0.2 : 3]
p1 (k) = polyval(v1,i);
k = k+1;
j=1;
for i=[-3 : 0.2 : 3]
if i >= 0
v2 (j) = i^3;
j = j+1;
else if i < 0
v2 (j) = i^3 * (-1);
j = j+1;
end
end
end
plot (p1); grid on; hold on;
plot (v2);
Here's the errors:

The given code works fine.......is there any code before figure(6)?
Yes, but I've also tried copying it into its own .m file in which case I only get the last two errors.
Error could be the previous lines...the given lines work fine.
It gives me the same errors when it's just these lines as well

There is no end for the first for loop. You start a second for i without an end for the first.

You seem to be missing end of the first for loop. Use this simplified code:
figure;
v1 = [1 0 -5 0 0 4];
i=-3:0.2:3;
p1 = polyval(v1,i);
v2=zeros(1,numel(i));
v2(i>=0) = i(i>=0).^3;
v2(i<0) = i(i<0).^3 *(-1);
plot (p1); grid on; hold on;
plot (v2);
