i wrote the following matlab( for a euler) code and i can't get it to plot, or provide a figure w. the results. can anyone help?
function [dy] = y(n,to,t,y0)
h=[0.1]
t0=0
y0=1
n=50
h=0.1
t=t0
y=y0
for i=1:n
k=2-exp(-4*t)-2*y
y=y+h*k
t=t+h
plot (t,y)
sprintf('t',' y')
end

After the plot() call, add
hold on
Change your sprintf() line to
fprintf('%.14f %.14f\n', t, y);

thanks for your response. this doesn't seem to work, tho. when i plot, ( w. and w.o the code change) i'm getting a blank graph. any thoughts?

If you add the "hold on" after the plot() call then the plot is not blank, but the points are not very visible. Try using
plot(t, y, 'r*')
to make the points more visible.
