Question

I'm debugging code that our teacher gave us and I'm basically stuck at line 13 where it tells me that the index exceeds matrix dimensions (see pictures below) It's either j or i but I have no idea what to change and I know this sounds like a dumb question but any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

(This is MATLAB by the way).

Explanation / Answer

in line 4

you have intialized the variable S with value 1

so, after this line,variable S is not an array, it is variable that has value 1(also consider has a two dimension 1X1 matrix)

means: S index bounds are only S(1,1)//because it has only one value...

now in Line 14

again you calling it with S(j,i)

here j,i values ranges from 1 to 720,

but S has only one value that is S(1,1)

so, all the remaining values of j,i are exceeding the index bound of S

that is why you are getting this error
