Adding values in a for loop

Is there a way to add the values that the for loop spits out? I'm trying to make a function for the taylor series.

 for i = 0:n 

        syms c

        d=inline(diff(cosh(c),c,i+1));

        g = ((d(0)* x^i )/(factorial(i)))   

 end

n and x are values that I put in. The output values are the same ones that I am looking for but the only problem I have is adding them together.

Hi Andy,

I'm not entirely clear what you mean by "output", but I'll presume that you mean the value assigned to the g variable. In that case, all you need to do is to store your g variable at each loop iteration as follows:

g_set = zeros(1,n+1); % n+1 because you start your loop at "0"
for i = 0:n 
      syms c
      d=inline(diff(cosh(c),c,i+1));
      g = ((d(0)* x^i )/(factorial(i)))   
      g_set(i+1) = g;
end

Now, you've recorded the value of g at each iteration. You can simply add these up by:

g_total = sum(g_set)

Does that work for you?

Thanks, Sven.

Thank you for answering. I was trying to make a matrix and use that matrix for a taylor series approximation. I was unable to explain that I was looking for a way to make a matrix because I didn't know there was a name for it.
