why am I having zero as the answer in the code below?

a = 0  
for i = 1:0.5:2
    for j = 1:1:3
             a = a + j;
    end
end

The only output from that code will be where you define a at the start of the program (without a semicolon at the end).

Your code is calculating correctly, but it's not displaying the final value of a.

You need to add a line after the loops to print the final value of a:

a = 0;

for i = 1:0.5:2

for j = 1:1:3

a = a + j;

end

end

disp(a)
