Matlab % Error for Euler's Method

[John31]

Homework Statement

I am trying to find the percent error in Euler's method with 3 different step sizes.

The Attempt at a Solution

Below is some coding I have calculating percent error of Euler's method however there has to be a more efficient way to input the matrices, I have found the first two step size errors by manually inputing the values but before I do the third (extremely long), there has to be a faster way. Any suggestions?

%% Analytical
simplify(dsolve('Dy=-x/y','y(0)=5','x'))
%% Numerical
f=@(x) (-x^2+25)^(1/2)
dydx=@(x,y) -(x/y);
[x1,y1]=eulode(dydx, [0 5],5,.5);
[x2,y2]=eulode(dydx,[0 5],5,.1);
[x3,y3]=eulode(dydx,[0 5],5,.01);
disp([x1,y1])
disp([x2,y2])
disp([x3,y3])
%% Percent Error
x1=0:.5:5;
x2=0:.1:5;
x3=0:.01:5;
analytical_step1= (-x1.^2+25).^(1/2)
analytical_step2=(-x2.^2+25).^(1/2);
analytical_step3=(-x3.^2+25).^(1/2);
numerical_1=[5.000 5.000  4.9500 4.8490 4.6943 4.4813 4.2024 3.8454 3.3903 2.8004 1.9970 ]
numerical_2=[5.0000 5.0000 4.9980 4.9940 4.9880 4.9800 4.9699 4.9579 4.9437 4.9276 4.9093 4.8889 4.8664 4.8418 4.8149 4.7858 4.7545 4.7208 4.6848 4.6464 4.6055 4.5621 4.5161 4.4673 4.4159 4.3615 4.3042 4.2438 4.1802 4.1132 4.0427 3.9685 3.8904 3.8081 3.7214 3.6301 3.5337 3.4318 3.3240 3.2096 3.0881 2.9586 2.8200 2.6711 2.5101 2.3348 2.1421 1.9273 1.6835 1.3984 1.0480];    
Percent_Error1=abs((analytical_step1-numerical_1)/analytical_step1)*100%answer displayed in percent
Percent_Error2=abs((analytical_step2-numerical_2)/analytical_step2)*100%answer displayed in percent

Unless I'm misunderstanding the code, why isn't y1 just the transpose of numerical_1, y2 the transpose of numerical_2, etc?
