Mis-type append problem

Hi guys,

I give an error when i try to append my values to arrays that ı create before while loop like that:

>> tryy

15.5023.758.0017.005.5019.0024.002.507.5011.0013.003.7525.009.7522.0018.006.0012.502.0021.50

2158.701678.152316.002061.302207.501708.301784.702575.002357.902256.702165.202399.551779.802336.751765.302053.502414.402200.502654.201753.70

Error using scatter (line 44)

Must supply X and Y data as first arguments.

Error in tryy (line 21)

scatter(x,y)

I think the problem involves w/ the my values type after when i append them to list because after i append them to list when i call as i.e x(4) they return to me 5 as an integer it has to return 5.50 as float .

This is propellant.csv

Thank You

fileID=fopen('propellant.csv');
y=[];
x=[];
counter=0;
while ~feof(fileID)
    counter=counter +1;
    tline=fgetl(fileID);
    if counter > 1
        newStr= split(tline,",",2);
        a=newStr{2};
        b=newStr{1};
        x=[x a]; % I am tryin to append array these are my values as a to x and b to y
        y=[y b]; 
    end
end

disp(x);
disp(y);

scatter(x,y) % this is line 21

The problem is, that you provide CHAR vectors, but scatter requires numerical arrays.

readtable would be smart, but this works also:

fileID = fopen('propellant.csv');
fgetl(fileID);  % Skip header
data = fscanf(fileID, '%g,%g', [2, inf]);
fclose(fileID);
scatter(data(1, :), data(2, :));

x=[];
y=[];
fileID = fopen('propellant.csv');
fgetl(fileID);  % Skip header
data = fscanf(fileID, '%g,%g', [2, inf]);
fclose(fileID);
for i=1:20
   y=[y data(1,i)];
   x=[x data(2,i)];
end

scatter(x,y)

When ı try your code values and scatter plot was different i don't know why after i have tried add to list my values separetly and it worked but i fscanf was very useful thank you :)

You just swapped x and y. Try:

scatter(data(2, :), data(1, :));
