array errors using n

still new to matlab, so I'm asked to create an array from -5n to 5n with increments of n/100.

im not sure how to properly incorporate n into the array.

Array = [-5n: n/100: 5n]

 n = 3; % a number
 Array = -5*n: n/100: 5*n % you were close

 % or perhaps
 syms n
 Array = -5*n: n/100: 5*n

can you explain what syms does, i havent covered it yet and i also get error 'requires symbolic math toolbox when running it ?

[madhan ravi]

https://www.mathworks.com/help/symbolic/syms.html#description , yes it does require a Symbolic Toolbox, however if your University have access to MATLAB Online , you could try it there.

i'm using matlab r2019b thru a remote server

[madhan ravi]

Try this:

 Array = @(n) -5*n: n/100: 5*n

If you don’t think this is what you want , nothing in MATLAB can give what you want.
