else statement is showing error

can any one tell me why the else statement is showing an error in my code

for Re1=3000 if x<Re1 f1=mc+cof+((Re1-x)*0.18)-(x*0.18)-(Rh1*0.05); end else f1=mc+cof-(Re1*0.18)-(Rh1*0.05); end end

You have an else that has no if to start it off. Your prior if was ended with the end in the line right before the else. Try getting rid of that if that's what you want to do.

for Re1=3000
  if x<Re1
    f1=mc+cof+((Re1-x)*0.18)-(x*0.18)-(Rh1*0.05);
  else
    f1=mc+cof-(Re1*0.18)-(Rh1*0.05);
  end
end

Of course I hope you realize your for loop will go only once , for a value of Re1 of 3000.
