How do I go about plotting the following function?

The function I want to plot is x[n] = \delta[n] - \delta[n-a] where a is just a number.

I tried following this tutorial, but I always ended up with out of memory errors.

I know about plotting the impulse function on it's own but this doesn't make any sense to me.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Please share your code.

I've used random numbers.

a = 5
n = [1:1:50]';
delta = 10;
x(n,1) = delta - (delta*(n-a))

plot(x,n)

Alternatively, you could leave n as it is without transposing and plot per the below:

a = 5
n = 1:1:50;
delta = 10;
x(n,1) = delta - (delta*(n-a))
plot(x(:,1),n(1,:))

It doesn't make much odds.

How did you plot this then? I'm getting that x and n aren't the same size.

[John Doe]

This was your size error. I've updated the answer to transpose n in to be the same as x.

 size(x)

ans =

    50     1
 
 size(n)

ans =

     1    50

Please accept answer :)
