USING newton method optimization (getting error in 'xx(1)=x') .

%f1=diff(fd,1)
%f2=diff(fd,2)
f1=@(x) (2.0*wi + 2.0*wo - 0.1)
f2=@(x) (2)
N=100;   %no of iteration
err=.01; %result accuracy
xx(1)=x;
for i=1:N
    x(i)=x-(f1(x)/f2(x));

     xx(j)=x;
     Err=abs(xx(j))-abs(xx(j-1));
     if Err<err,break;end

It would be easier to answer this if you wrote a question along with the code...

But the line xx(1)=x; will give you an error because you are trying to assign the 5 values in x to the first space in xx.

The line of code you may be looking for is:

However I am not sure what it is you are trying to do, so this could be wrong.

xx = x(1);
