Evaluating a function in subitervales and comparing the function' values of each interval with te next interval

Hi. Can any one help me with the following please. let's say I have these values x=[ 2,3,-1,-4,2,-6,...1000], I need to subdevide these valuse into subintervals let's say each subinterval has 10 elements. Then I want to evaluate a function F(x) in each subinterval of x and compare the valuse of the function of the first interval with the function's value of the next interval and so on. Thankful your favor inadvanced.

The below is what you asked for. It seems unlikely to be what you want though.

   x=[ 2,3,-1,-4,2,-6,...
       1000];
   num_x = length(x);
   for xidx = 1 : num_x-1
     first_x = x(xidx);
     second_x = x(xidx+1);
     sub_intervals = linspace(first_x, second_x, 10);
     Fvals = zeros(1, 9);
     for interval_idx = 1 : 9
       this_subinterval = sub_intervals(interval_idx:interval_idx+1);
       Fvals(interval_idx) = F(this_subinterval);     %evaluate F on sub-interval ?
     end
     for interval_idx = 1 : 9
       fprintf('major interval %g:%g, sub_interval %g:%g, value ', first_x, second_x, sub_intervals(interval_idx:interval_idx+1));
       if Fvals(interval_idx) < F_vals(interval_idx+1)
         fprintf('increases\n');
       elseif Fvals(interval_idx) > F_vals(interval_idx+1)
         fprintf('decreases\n);
       elseif any(isnan(Fvals(interval_idx:interval_idx+1)))
         fprintf('is indeterminate because of nan\n');
       else
         fprintf('stays the same');
       end
     end
   end
