What does Subscripted assignment dimension mismatch mean? I keep getting the same error?

I keep getting the same error for the following code:-

Error in dct1 (line 12) d(j,k) = c*double(b(j,k));

whereby c = dctmtx(8), and is a 8 * 8 doubles matrix.... I tried replacing c*double(b(j,k)) with c.*double(b(j,k)) but it returned the same error..... Whelp ?

M = 1600
N = 3600

    for j = 1:8:M
        for k = 1:8:N
            d(j,k) = c*double(b(j,k)); //c is a 8*8 doubles matrix

        end
    end

The error means that the destination is not the same dimension as the source. In this case, you are trying to write an 8x8 matrix (c) into a 1x1 scalar (d(j,k)).

OMG I just realized that! Thanks! What I really was trying to do was multiply the c matrix (8*8) by smaller 8*8 matrixes in the 1600*3600 matrix.. Any idea how to do that? Thanks again appreciate your help!
