matlab if 后总出错,Matlab：If语句中的不等式导致错误(Matlab: Inequality in If statement results in error)...

I apologize in advance, I'm sure the answer to this question is quite trivial, unfortunately I am just not sure what is going on.

I am trying to run the following code

a(1) = -2;

b(1) = 2;

c(1) = 0;

for i = 1:15

if cubicPoly(a(i))*cubicPoly(c(i)) < 0

a(i+1) = a(i);

b(i+1) = c(i);

else

a(i+1) = c(i);

b(i+1) = b(i);

end

end

but when I do I receive the error message

Index exceeds matrix dimensions.

Error in Assignment2 (line 31)

if cubicPoly(a(i))*cubicPoly(c(i)) < 0

If I evaluate my cubic polynomial function cubicPoly normally, everything works just fine. But inside the for/if loop when evaluated at the sequences a(i) and c(i) it results in an error.

Any help would be appreciated.
