MATLAB: Error in matrix dimension and using a plus sign

numerical integration

I am trying to write a code for the Midpoint rule given by :
M = \sum_{i=1}^{n}hf(\frac{x_{i-1}+x_{i}}{2})
My MATLAB code is following:
if true
  function M = mittpunkt(fun,a,b,n)
h = (b-a)/n;
x = linspace(a,b,n);
f = fun(x);
M = h*(sum(f(((1:n-1)+(1:n))/2)));
end
My error is :
Error using  + 
Matrix dimensions must agree.
If something is wrong I think it must me the index, certainly not the use of a plus sign, right? Thanks

In the line where you calculate M, you are trying to add
(1:n-1)
and
(1:n)
which are vectors of two different lengths. Those are the dimensions that don't match.
