Why matlab is not some varriables within loops

Hello everyone, am faced with a little challege, I wrote the following code to help me do some research, but the problem is that, malab cannot see f2, yet it's there, what come be the problme? Below is my code

r=input('Enter the radius of each electron\n')

R=input('Enter the the radius of the electron path\n')

T=input('Input the desire period\n')

t=[1:0.1:10]';

for i=1:1:numel(t)

n=R*abs(sin(pi*t(i)/T))/r;

m=1:1:fix((n*r)/(r*sqrt(3)));

for j=1:1:numel(m)

f1(j,1)=2*sin(acos((m(j)*sqrt(3)*abs(csc(pi*t(i)/T)/n))));

if j==numel(m)

mmax=fix((n*r)/(r*sqrt(3)));

f1(j,1)=((r+n-mmax)/2*r)*2*sin(acos((m(j)*sqrt(3)*abs(csc(pi*t(i)/T)/n))));

f2=(1+sum(f1(j,1)));

display(f2)

end

end

f0(i,1)=f2*n*sqrt(abs(sin(pi*t(i)/T)));

if i==numel(t)

display(f0)

end

end

%below is the error that i get

%%

%Undefined function or variable 'f2'.

%Error in epr7accountingforincompleteci (line 17)

%f0(i,1)=f2*n*sqrt(abs(sin(pi*t(i)/T)));

Below is the error

Undefined function or variable 'f2'.

Error in epr7accountingforincompleteci (line 17)

f0(i,1)=f2*n*sqrt(abs(sin(pi*t(i)/T)));

f2 will only be defined if the condition is satisfied or the inner for loop runs.

I suspect m might be an empty double. Check if that is the case or not.

If m is not empty, specify what you are trying to do and provide the inputs so that we run your code, reproduce the error you got and subsequently provide suggestions/solutions.

@Dyuman Joshi You are right, m is an empty at first operation. Thanks

Hi @okoth ochola, You need to sum the operation over entire array f1 inside the for loop

 r=0.1

r = 0.1000

 R=10 

R = 10

 T=10

T = 10

t=[1:0.1:10]';
for i=1:1:numel(t)
    n=R*abs(sin(pi*t(i)/T))/r;
    m=1:1:fix((n*r)/(r*sqrt(3)));
    for j=1:1:numel(m)
        f1(j,1)=2*sin(acos((m(j)*sqrt(3)*abs(csc(pi*t(i)/T)/n))));
        if j==numel(m)
           mmax=fix((n*r)/(r*sqrt(3)));
           f1(j,1)=((r+n-mmax)/2*r)*2*sin(acos((m(j)*sqrt(3)*abs(csc(pi*t(i)/T)/n))));
           f2=(1+sum(f1));  % sum operation over entire array f1
          % display(f2);
        end
    end
   f0(i,1)=f2*n*sqrt(abs(sin(pi*t(i)/T)));
   if i==numel(t)
       %display(f0);
   end
end
vpa(real(f0),4) , vpa(real(f2),3)
