Super basic, but what is wrong with the code below? I'm not understanding. Multiple tutorials state that the code below should be perfectly fine? But I end up receving the error that is shown below the code.
x=[0 1 2 3 4];
y=[2 9/4 38/17 161/72 682/305];
plot(x,y)
Index in position 1 is invalid. Array indices must be positive integers or logical values.
Error in test (line 4)
plot(x,y)

+1 To add on to Madhan's answer, you can confirm that by running this line
which plot
which will return "plot is a variable". You should never name a variable "plot".
This recreates your error
plot = 1:4; %variable named plot (gasp!)
%now treat plot as a funciton
x=[0 1 2 3 4];
y=[2 9/4 38/17 161/72 682/305];
plot(x,y)
"Index in position 1 is invalid....."
