if cycle is not working

Hello! while solving an exercise the if cycle is not working. Is anything wrong? Thanks
L=1; xfinal=L;
u=[];
x_inicial=0; dx=xfinal/20;
x=x_inicial:dx:xfinal;
t=0; dt=0.0001; t_max=1.1;
c=zeros(1,length(x));
c(((xfinal/dx)/2+1))=1;
while t<t_max
t=t+dt;
for w=2:(length(x)-1)
c(w)=c(w)+dt*((c(w+1)+c(w-1)-2*c(w))/(dx^2));
c(1)=0; c(length(x))=0;
end
if t==0.01||t==0.1||t==1
figure()
plot(x,c)
title(sprintf('L=%d and t_f=%1.1f',xfinal,t))
end
end

Yes, something is wrong. You're comparing floating point numbers for equality. See the FAQ for workarounds and the proper way to do it: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#Why_is_0.3_-_0.2_-_0.1_.28or_similar.29_not_equal_to_zero.3F
