Finding the last value of a difference equation

Hello!
So I've been assigned to solve this equation:

where A is a positive nymber and 0<=n<= N-1, while also N=30
Furthermore I have an initial value of y(-1)=3. I'm looking to find the last value of this equation (so for n=29).
Last, I want my function to be called back by using this code:
result = my_matlab_function(A,N);
disp(['A= ' num2str(A) 'Result=' num2str(result)])
This is what I've managed to write so far, yet MATLAB won't accept it:
function res = my_matlab_function(A,n)
assume(A,'positive');
n:0:1:29;
y(-1)=3;
y(n)=(1/2)*(y(n-1)+(A^2)/(y(n-1)));
result = my_matlab_function(A,N);
disp(['A= ' num2str(A) 'Result=' num2str(result)])
end

Use:
y(end) = -3

You need to call this function with an A value.
- Save the function as my_matlab_function.m. It is a function that takes an input argument A.
function res = my_matlab_function(A)
if A < 0
% you don't really need this. You use A^2 later, it doesn't really
% matter A < 0 or not
disp('A must be positive');
return;
end
% initialize the first one in the list
y(1) = 3;
% you want apply the expression from n = -1 to n = 29
% but matlab has to start with i = 0. So it is i from 1 to 31
N = 31;
for i=2:N
% each y(i) depends on y(i-1)
y(i)=0.5*(y(i-1)+((A^2)/y(i-1)));
end
% plot it if you want to see how it goes through different n
% plot(1:N, y);
disp(['A= ' num2str(A) '; Result=' num2str(y(N))]);
res = y(N);
end
- From command line, call this function with an A value. Something like:
my_matlab_function(100)

Then iterate 2-times more starting with n=1 instead of n=-1.
function res = my_matlab_function(A,N)
y = zeros(N+1,1)
y(1) = 3;
for i = 1:N
y(i+1) = 0.5*(y(i) + A^2/y(i))
end
res = y(end)
end

Well, maybe I was not clear in my answer: A has to be prescribed, it can't be deduced.
At least if you don't modify your question somehow.
And again: Arrays in Matlab start with index 1. 0 gives an error message.
