Hello, I'm trying to plot the I-V curve for a MOSFET, but I get a "Vectors must be the same length" error message. I don't understand why this is the case.

use uniform vector size for xcoordinates. oneway is to use linspace function instead of defiining the specfic intervals of xdata.

(x_1,y_1) to (x_6,y_6) are supposed to be piecewise functions. It's why the intervals for the x-values are different. Is there another way I can code this?
