Indexing in "for loops"

I already have a code i want to run multiple times because it has some form of randomisation where every run produces a different value. So basically, i want to generate a list of values. I used the for loop in runnning the script. First i declared an empty array then used a loop to run the random number generator about 100 times. Something like this:

group=ones(100,1);

for i=1:100

run('try_2');

group(i,:)=value;

end

It worked at first but upon subsequent trials, it is no longer working. I get an error message " subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals loops "

Is there any way i can get by this. I just want to be able to run my script multiple times and generate a vector or matrix that collects the answers at every run. Thanks

Here I have considering three assumptions and tried to reproduce the same, there is no error

1. Suppose "value" is the scalar result

group=zeros(1,100);
for i=1:100
    %run('try_2'); % this command return the value, right? 
    group(i)=value;
end

2. Value is a vector, let say "value" is 1D array with fixed length n

group=zeros(100,n);
for i=1:100
    %run('try_2');
    group(i,:)=value;
end

3. Value is varrying result as interation progress, in such case use cell array to store the result

group=cell(1,100);
for i=1:100
    %run('try_2'); 
    group{i}=value;
end

Rest is OK, just ensure that respective "run" commnad generete the value variable. Still unsolved please provide the detail of try_2 ??

Hope it Helps!

Hi @KALYAN ACHARJYA, it worked. I had to remove "clear" in "try_2". Thanks for the help
