How can I get my distance variable to be [0.1:0.7] to show as [0.1,0.2,0​.3,0.4,0.5​,0.6,0.7]

s=[(0.1):(0.7)]

s =

0.1000

this keeps only showing only 0.1 as the resultant.

How is MATLAB supposed to know that you want a step size of 0.1?

If you do not tell it otherwise, it uses the default step size of 1.

s = 0.1:0.1:0.7

s = 1×7

0.1000 0.2000 0.3000 0.4000 0.5000 0.6000 0.7000

s=.1:.1:.7

s = 1×7

0.1000 0.2000 0.3000 0.4000 0.5000 0.6000 0.7000

The default ‘step’ using the colon operator is 1, so the condition is immediately satisfied and only the first element appears.

An alternative —

s = linspace(0.1, 0.7, 7)

s = 1×7

0.1000 0.2000 0.3000 0.4000 0.5000 0.6000 0.7000
