What Nasser is trying to tell you is that ML uses the period as the decimal separator, not the comma. So when your program runs, it sees A=[0 8901 0 5278 0 5612; 0 352 0 2083 0 459; 0 747 0 2639 0 3929]
Remember, by the way, that ML uses i and j for sqrt(-1) for defining complex numbers. You could run into problems if you redefine i as one of your variables. You should be getting the error message:
*Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals.* at the line P(t(i))=A*P(t(i-1)) because you haven't yet redefined i. As a result, you are in effect trying to access t(sqrt(-1)), which is illegal.
t(0) is also illegal in ML and should generate an error message. Unlike some other programming languages, indexing in ML must start with a positive integer--not zero.
Matlab includes a pretty good tutorial, Getting Started, in their help files. You may want to work through that and then come back here with questions if you don't understand the documentation.
