MATLAB: Error: Index exceeds the number of array elements (1).

errorMATLABmatlab function

I have an array variable stats defined as
stats = [1,1,0];
and when running this function
function gameOver = overCheck(stats)
if stats(1) == 0
    gameOver = true;   
elseif stats(2) == 0
    gameOver = true;
else
    gameOver = false;
end
end
I get the error "Index exceeds the number of array elements (1)."
"Error in game2>overCheck (line 73)
elseif stats(2) == 0"
I'm wondering why it this is happening? When accessing stats(2) in other functions it works fine.

The only possibility that comes to mind is that when you call ‘gameOver’, ‘stats’ is a scalar. It may have been redefined before then.
The function works correctly when I run it with the ‘stats’ vector you provided.
