??? Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals.

Here's my code:
N = 10;n=0:N;
f(n) = cumsum(((-1).^n)/(3.^n));
g(n) = 3/4+1/4*(-1/3).^n;
I am new to Matlab. Please send a complete solution. Thank you.

I will not send a complete solution, but I will point out that MATLAB interprets your f(n) and g(n) statements as array references, not functions. To create functions, see the documentation on Anonymous Functions.

How could we send a complete solution when we don't even have a complete question?
Please learn to format your code. Highlight the code, then push the button that looks like {}Code.

Hi, I matalab, you cannot find f(0). so you should start with n=1:N and check the below coding, it may help you..
N = 10;
for n=1:N;
f(n) = cumsum(((-1).^n)/(3.^n));
g(n) = 3/4+1/4*(-1/3).^n;
end

f1 = @(n)cumsum((-1).^n./3.^n);
g1 = @(n)3/4+1/4*(-1/3).^n;
>> N = 10;
>> n1 = 0:N;
>> f1(n1)

or
f2 = @(N)cumsum((-1).^(0:N)./3.^(0:N));
g2 = @(N)3/4+1/4*(-1/3).^(0:N);
