MATLAB: Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals.

Question

I was trying to code modified euler cauchy method for solving ODE-IVP. I am getting the following error,

Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals.

When I removes 0.5*h_int from the 4th equation, this error gets solved. How to fix this? I need to implement same algorithm.

for n=1:N_samples-1 x_tilde=cauchy(:,n)+(h_int/2)*my_fun(time(n),cauchy(:,n)); cauchy(:,n+1)=cauchy(:,n)+h_int*my_fun(time(n+0.5*h_int),x_tilde); X0=cauchy(:,n+1); end
