ERROR with type off data

hi, when i run my script it show this error

Error using ==> rdivide
Integers can only be combined with integers of the same class, or scalar doubles.

in this line

    for iter=1:itmax
      W(iter)=wmax-((wmax-wmin)/itmax)*iter;

wmax and wmin are saved as 'single' and itmax as 'uint8'.W is defined as '<1x50 single>' in workspace and and iter is just a value in workspace

Answer 1

[Fangjun Jiang]

try

W(iter)=wmax-((wmax-wmin)/single(itmax))*iter

now it shows this error

??? Error using ==> times

Answer 2

[Andrei Bobrov]

k = single(itmax);
for iter=1:k
      W(iter)=wmax-((wmax-wmin)/k)*iter;
...
end

or

W(iter)=wmax-((wmax-wmin)/single(itmax))*single(iter);

thanks for the help

Answer 3

[Laura Proctor]

Because you are creating the variable iter from the variable itmax, it will also be uint8, so you will need to cast it as a single as well:

W(iter) = wmax -( (wmax-wmin)/single(itmax) ) * single(iter);

thanks it worked just as the tip from andrei bobrov
