How to plot a given vector field A(x y,z)=(-y)x hat + ( x) y hat + (0) z hat in x y plane .I tried this code but getting an error

% Define the vector field A(x, y, z) = (-y)x_hat + (x)y_hat + (0)z_hat
syms x y z
A = [-y*x, x*y, 0];
% Define the x and y coordinates for the plot x = linspace(-2, 2, 20); y = linspace(-2, 2, 20); [X, Y] = meshgrid(x, y);
% Evaluate the vector field at each point on the grid U = subs(A(1), {x, y}, {X, Y}); V = subs(A(2), {x, y}, {X, Y});
% Plot the vector field quiver(X, Y, U, V); xlabel('x'); ylabel('y'); title('Vector Field Plot in the x-y Plane');
