Recursion

[darthxepher]

Need help creating a recursive script in matlab that can do this:

S = 1^2 + 2 ^2 + 3^2 + ... + n^2

: P
Thanks.

This should do it:

S = sum((1:n).^2);

(1:n) creates an array of integers from 1 to n

the .^2 squares each element

and the sum() function does what it says.
