Index exceeds the number of array elements

Dear all. How can I fix this: "Index exceeds the number of array elements"?
data=[1:30]';
x=data(:,1);
n=length(data);
for i=1:n-2
for k=1:n-2
h(k)=sum(data((i):(i+2)));
k=k+1;
i=i+3;
end
end
Thank you all!

You are raising the index "i" by 3 at every loop, so on the last loop it can exceed the size of array "data".
Btw do you really need to increase the size of "k" by one at every loop? This is automatically done by a for-loop...
What is your goal with this code? It might be possible to do this in a much faster and cleaner way.
I need to construct this:
x(i) h(k)=sum(x(i):x(i+2))

I need a sequence as presented in h(k)=sum(x(i):x(i+2))...
The 2nd column is a sum of three elements of the 1st column.

One way:
x=(1:30).';
[m,n]=size(x);
N=3;
Result=zeros(m/N,n); % preallocate
for k = 1:m/N
Result(k,n)=sum(x(k*N-(N-1):k*N));
end
Result
Gives:
Result =
6
15
24
33
42
51
60
69

Another way:
x=(1:30).';
[m,n]=size(x);
N=3;
C=mat2cell(x,repmat(N,1,m/N));
Result=cellfun(@sum,C)
Gives:
Result =

Thank you! It It works perfectly.
Thank you all for attention.

This would also work:
x=(1:30)';
Result=sum(reshape(x,3,[]))';
The transposes are not needed, but are only there to keep input and output shape consistent with the other methods by Madhan.

Thank you. It works perfectly also.

x=1:30;
Result=squeeze(sum(reshape(x,3,1,[]))) % without transpose

Thank you again. All answers worked.
I just don't know how can I apply for a sequence not divisible by other numbers. I have a sequence of 1118 elements and I need to sum the same sequence in 3 to 3, 6 to 6, 9 to 9, 12 to 12, 18 to 18, 24 to 24, 48 to 48...
The same procedure, but applied in these:
x=1:30;
Result=squeeze(sum(reshape(x,3,1,[]))) % without transpose
I have the input data a matrix 1:1118 and 2 columns.

Ask a separate question with all the details required.
I have an array created with this command
t = [0:0.01:0.99 1:0.1:9.9 10:1:100];
this creates 281 columns
I want to know difference between each columns
like time interval between 2nd and 1st colulmn and between 2nd and 3rd like wise.
How do i go about it?

f1tmp(km)=elec_price(km)*(pdis_charget(km)/1e3)*delt; % objective function 1
That code would have a problem if elec_price or pdis_charget are arrays and km is greater than the number of elements in the array.
Perhaps you wanted multiplication?
f1tmp(km)=elec_price*(km)*(pdis_charget*(km)/1e3)*delt; % objective function 1
I would also suspect it might be
f1tmp(km)=elec_price*(km) + (pdis_charget*(km)/1e3)*delt; % objective function 1
but it is difficult to be sure of any of this without more of the code to look at.
r1 is not defined in that code. Maybe it is empty.

what is problem i tried many times but couldn't get the solution
@dugasa getachew: have a read here and here. Then post your question to a separate thread. It will greatly improve your chances of getting an answer.

¿Cómo puedo solucionar esto: "El índice supera el número de elementos de la matriz"?
disp ('introducir valores en S.I. ');
b= input('¿cual es el ancho del canal? ');
yl=input('¿cual es el valor de yl? ');
disp ('dz positivo si es ascendente ');
dz=input ('¿cual es el valor de dz? ');
Q= input('¿cual es el valor del gasto? ');
Al= b*yl;
vl_2=(Q/Al)^2;
cvl=vl_2/(2*9.81);
El=yl+cvl;
Ea= El-dz
a=(Q^2/(2*9.81*b^2));
r=roots([1,-Ea,0,a])
y=(.0000001:.01:(2*y1));
E= y+(Q^2./((2*9.81)*(b*y).^2));

Which line is the problem occuring on?
We do not know what inputs you used.
I suspect that you have an existing variable in your workspace that is named one of axis or plot or roots or title or xlabel or ylabel
En la primera linea me marca el error que el indice supera el numero de matrices
disp ('introducir valores en S.I. ');
As Walter mentioned, check that you don't have a variable called disp.
% disp is a function
disp('introducir valores en S.I. ');
introducir valores en S.I.
% disp is now a variable (e.g. a numeric array)
disp = [1 2 3];
% now you're trying to index into an array using a character vector
% note that the linter will now highlight this line since it's an
% addressing expression with no output
disp('introducir valores en S.I. ');
Index exceeds the number of array elements. Index must not exceed 3.

'disp' appears to be both a function and a variable. If this is unintentional, use 'clear disp' to remove the variable 'disp' from the workspace.
% which is implicitly handled as numeric indices
disp([105 110 116 114 111 100 117 99 105 114 32 118 97 108 111 114 101 115 32 101 110 32 83 46 73 46 32]);
