save answers for different values used in a while loop in an array of (2,n)

the question is how to save the highest value of vector pnew(highestvalue) and the location of this highest value in the vector pnew (index) in a matrix of the size (2,plocation)?
I get the right values for column p when i only apply a while loop.
function [amountofsteps, pnew, highestvalue, index]=exercise30b(p)
iter=1;
pnew=[];
k=1;
r=rem(p,2);
amountofsteps=1;
while (p>k)
if (r==0)
pnew(iter)=p/2;
elseif (r>0)
pnew(iter)=p*3+1;
end;
p=pnew(iter);
r=rem(p,2);
amountofsteps=amountofsteps+1;
iter=iter+1;
[index, highestvalue]=max(pnew);
end;
disp(amountofsteps);
disp(pnew);
disp(highestvalue);
disp(index);
now i want to apply a for loop to derive the same for different values of p. Unfortunately, I get an error that "index" and "highest value" are undefined variables when i want to accomodate them into the array. please see below:
function [answerarray]=opgave30c2(d)
for plocation=1:d
iter=1;
pnew=[];
k=1;
p=plocation;
r=rem(p,2);
amountofsteps=1;
answerarray=zeros(2,d);
while (p>k)
if (r==0)
pnew(iter)=p/2;
elseif (r>0)
pnew(iter)=p*3+1;
end;
p=pnew(iter);
r=rem(p,2);
amountofsteps=amountofsteps+1;
iter=iter+1;
highestvalue=max(pnew);
index = find(pnew == max(pnew), 1);
end;
answerarray(1,plocation)=index;
answerarray(2,plocation)=highestvalue;
clear m n pnew p aantalstappen iter highestvalue plocation
end;
% disp(aantalstappen);
% disp(pnew);
% disp(highestvalue);
% disp(index);
% disp(p);
Could you guys please help me out?
Thanks!

In your second function, you defined
k=1;
and the condition in the while loop is
while (p>k)
which is not fulfilled for any p>1. Then, neither index nor highestvalue get to be defined within the while loop and by extension, within the function.

Initialize outside the for loop:
iter=1;
pnew=[];
for plocation=1:d
k=1;
p=plocation;
r=rem(p,2);
amountofsteps=1;
answerarray=zeros(2,d);
while (p>k)
if (r==0)
pnew(iter)=p/2;
elseif (r>0)
pnew(iter)=p*3+1;
end
