Attempted to access x(2); index out of bounds because numel(x)=1. But I'm using a matrix?

I'm just trying to execute a simple for loop, but I keep getting this error "Attempted to access x(2); index out of bounds because numel(x)=1.
Error in Quiz (line 11) x = x(i)" I don't understand what the error means. Any help would be appreciated!
x = [22.5 45 67.5 90]
for i=1:4
x = x(i)
a = a(x)
c = c(x)
alpha = alpha(x)
mu(a,c)
end

 Accepted Answer

After one itteration
for i=1:4
x = x(i)
the length of x becomes equal to 1, then x(2) does not exist

Hi.
You change your x in first loop :
x = x(i) ====> x=22.5
after this x became a number.

That makes sense. So how do I go about calling all the values of the matrix into my for loop?
Use another variable:
y = [22.5 45 67.5 90]
y(2)
n = [1 3 5 7]
for i=1:4
x = y(i)
a = a(x)
c = c(x)
alpha = alpha(x)
mu(a,c)
end
what should i do if i get the same error while using a if loop inside a for to plot a wave
same question:
function [QRS] = AF2(EKG)
QRS=zeros(1,8191);
a=max(EKG);
Xth=0.4*a; %amplitude threshold
Y0=zeros(1,8191);
Y1=zeros(1,8191);
Y2=zeros(1,8191);
for n=1:8191
if (EKG(n)>0)
Y0=EKG(n);
elseif (EKG(n)<0)
Y0=-EKG(n);
end
end
%NP filtar:
for k=1:8191
y=Y0(k);
if ( y>= Xth)
Y1(k)=y;
else
Y1(k)=Xth;
end
end
%prva derivacija:
for n=2:8190
Y2= Y1(n+1)- Y1(n-1);
end
%detekcija qrs-a:
for i=0: 8191
if((Y2(i))>0.7)
QRS(i)=1;
end
end
end

How can I solve this problem?
Attempted to access C(38,1); index out of bounds because size(C)=[37,38].
Error in Without_DG (line 94) if ((C(f,i)==-1)&&(k==1));
%% MATLAB Program
k=1;
for i=1:no
if ((C(f,i)==-1)&&(k==1));
f=i;
g(j,e)=i;
e=e+1;
k=3;
end
end

"How can I solve this problem?"
Problem: trying to access array elements that don't exist throws an error.
Solution: don't try to access array elements that don't exist.
Maybe you need to check your input data better. Maybe your algorithm logic is incorrect. Maybe your wrote your code with a bug. We don't know because one code excerpt is not enough for us to know what you are doing and why. So find out what you did wrong and fix it.
Alright.... Thank you so much.... the input data is correct, but the code was incorrect, i tried to change the data by using the same code which need to access different network of distribution system... which from radial system into mesh system which the network more complex
I want the code can access mesh system by just adding the mesh data, but it seems doesnt work

Even I am getting the same error..plz some body help.....The programm code is.....
lb = [0,0,0,-inf];
Aeq = [1 1 1 0];
beq = 1;
x0 = [0.25 0.25 0.25 8];
fun = @(x) -x(4);
A = [];
b = [];
ub = [];
nonlinear = @Alteredplay2;
nonlcon = nonlinear(x);
[X, FVAL] = fmincon(fun, x0, A, b, Aeq, beq, lb, ub, nonlcon)
function [C, Ceq] = Alteredplay2(x)
%x0 = [0.25 0.25 0.25 2];
C(1)= x(4)-((1-(5.8/8))^(0.5)*(0.1/8)^(0.5)*(1-(4.4/8))^(0.5)*(1.7/8)^(0.5))^x(1)*((1-(2/8))^(0.5)*(2.9/8)^(0.5)*(1-(1.4/8))^(0.5)*(5.8/8)^(0.5))^x(2)*((1-(3.4/8))^(0.5)*(0.1/8)^(0.5)*(1-(5.2/8))^(0.5)*(2.7/8)^(0.5))^x(3);
C(2)= x(4)-((1-(6.1/8))^(0.5)*(0.6/8)^(0.5)*(1-(3.8/8))^(0.5)*(1.7/8)^(0.5))^x(1)*((1-(2.4/8))^(0.5)*(3.1/8)^(0.5)*(1-(1.3/8))^(0.5)*(5.6/8)^(0.5))^x(2)*((1-(7.1/8))^(0.5)*(0.3/8)^(0.5)*(1-(3.6/8))^(0.5)*(0.8/8)^(0.5))^x(3);
Ceq= [];
end
and the error is....
Attempted to access x(4); index out of bounds because
numel(x)=2.
