First element of vector becoming equal to last element automatically?!?

1 view (last 30 days)
I am using the following code to solve the laplace equation.
The issue I am facing is that the first element of norm_err which I am setting to 1 is automatically being reset to the last element on each iteration of the while loop. Why is this happening?
