There are so many errors in the few lines of code above that it is quite
difficult to understand what actually is the proble that you are trying to 
solve, maybe it would be easier to understand what you are trying to accomplish
if you write in formulas rather than in code.

Is this some sort of homework? 

We usually don't solve homework questions on this list, but we do answer 
specific
questions about the usage of octave functions.
