If N is a double array already, this will need to convert (x-1)*(y-1) into a
double precision value in order to store that value in an element of N.
However, since you haven't specified a value for x or y, it cannot perform
that conversion and so throws the error. Either specify NUMERIC values for x
and y in your script/function [so that (x-1)*(y-1) results in a numeric
value which can be converted to a double precision value] or initialize N
symbolically before running this loop so MATLAB doesn't need to convert the
symbolic (x-1)*(y-1) to perform the assignment.
N = sym(zeros(4, 4));
