MATLAB: Why do i get this error when i try add a working code to guide

Question

Hi, i get the error below when trying to solve a D.E. whit euler:

I have a code that solves D.E. whit euler metod, but i have to add that code to a GUI (guide) like this one, i made it from a blank guide:

The euler code is quite simple and it works in a script.

syms x
syms y
fprintf('\tResolucion de Ecuaciones Diferenciales por Metodo Euler');
f=inline(input('\n Ingrese la derivada:','s'));
x=input('\n Ingrese el valor de X inicial:');
xf=input('\n Ingrese el valor de X final:');
y=input('\n Ingrese el valor de Y inicial:');
h=input('\n Ingrese el paso:');
n=(xf-x)/h
disp(' x    y');
for i=1:n+1    
y1= feval(f,x,y);    
hy1=h*y1;
fprintf('\n%0.1f %0.4f ',x,y);    
y=y+hy1;    
x=x+h; 
end

The error i get is this:

Error using  :  (line 38)
Unable to compute number of steps from 1 to 5 - 2*x by 1.
Error in gui>bResolver_Callback (line 99)
        for i=1:n+1

Error in

and here is the GUI(guide) code

function varargout = gui(varargin)
% GUI MATLAB code for gui.fig
%      GUI, by itself, creates a new GUI or raises the existing
%      singleton*.
%


%      H = GUI returns the handle to a new GUI or the handle to
%      the existing singleton*.
%
%      GUI('CALLBACK',hObject,eventData,handles,...) calls the local
%      function named CALLBACK in GUI.M with the given input arguments.
%
%      GUI('Property','Value',...) creates a new GUI or raises the
%      existing singleton*.  Starting from the left, property value pairs are
%      applied to the GUI before gui_OpeningFcn gets called.  An
%      unrecognized property name or invalid value makes property application
%      stop.  All inputs are passed to gui_OpeningFcn via varargin.

x=str2num(get(handles.Txo, 'string'));
y=str2num(get(handles.Tyo, 'string'));
Those will result in x and y being defined as numeric values (probably, but not always. str2double() would be better.)
syms x y;
Those are equivalent to
x = sym('x');
y = sym('y');
so whatever numeric values x and y had will be erased and replaced with symbolic values.
switch opcion
    case 1 %Método de Euler
        n=(xf-x)/h;
x is symbolic so n ends up symbolic
        for i=1:n+1
with n being symbolic, 1:n+1 tries to use the : operator with a symbolic upper bound, which fails.

In your callback for edit1 you replace the handle with the value extracted from the handle. That is confusing at the very least.

Answer 1

x=str2num(get(handles.Txo, 'string'));
y=str2num(get(handles.Tyo, 'string'));

Those will result in x and y being defined as numeric values (probably, but not always. str2double() would be better.)

syms x y;

Those are equivalent to

x = sym('x');
y = sym('y');

so whatever numeric values x and y had will be erased and replaced with symbolic values.

switch opcion
    case 1 %Método de Euler
        n=(xf-x)/h;

x is symbolic so n ends up symbolic

        for i=1:n+1

with n being symbolic, 1:n+1 tries to use the : operator with a symbolic upper bound, which fails.
