MATLAB: For loop for summation

for loopsummation

I need to create a for loop for a series summation. The sum is from n=-500 to 500. The summation is some function of n multiplied by y^-n. The problem that I am running into is that y is a matrix that needs to be indexed over. Currently, I have something along the lines of 
R= zeros(size(y));
N= -500:500;
for m=1:numel(y)
    R(m) = R(m) + f(N)*y(m)^(-N)
end
But am running into problems because N is not the same size as y.

Best Answer

R= zeros(size(y));
N= -500:500;
for j=1:numel(N)
    
    n=N(j);
    
    R = R + f(n).*y.^(-n);
    
end
