Everytime I run my code I keep getting an infinite recursion error. My code is posted below. Can you please help me figure out why it keeps giving me this error?

It flags me at the y(:, i) = x.^(i)./factorial(i); line below.
function exp = expapprox(x,n)
n = 5;
x = 1:5;
% number of iterations for loop
for i = 1:n
y(:, i) = x.^(i)./factorial(i);
end
exp = 1+ sum(y);
actexp = exp(x);
plot(actexp, expapprox(x,5))
end

Your plot statement calls your function expapprox, so it gets into an infinite recursion. You've got another problem as well, since you create a variable named "exp" which is shadowing the MATLAB function of the same name. Pick a different variable name.

E.g., something like this:
expcumsum = 1 + cumsum(y,2);
actexp = repmat(exp(x(:)),1,n);
figure;
plot([expcumsum;actexp]','.-');
xlabel('Number of Terms');
ylabel('exp value');
title('Taylor Series exp convergence')
grid on
The value returned from the function could be something like this:
function expvalue = expapprox(x,n)
:
expvalue = expcumsum(:,end);
