. could you please, check my code I did not get as the following pic.
for i=1:length(T)-1
x1(i+1)=x1(i)+dX1*h;
x2(i+1)=x2(i)+dX2*h;
v1(i+1)=v1(i)+dX3*h;
v2(i+1)=v2(i)+dX4*h;
end

You need to recalculate the derivatives at each time step. So all of the stuff that goes into calculating dX needs to be inside of your for-loop. Which means that all of the equations for this calculation need to be indexed. E.g., this
r=x1-x2 ;
should be this
r=x1(i)-x2(i) ;
etc.

So, when I wrote that you needed to have your derivative calculations inside of the for-loop, I was talking about your existing for-loop in your original posted code:
for i=1:length(T)-1
% Put all of your derivative calculations here
x1(i+1)=x1(i)+dX(1)*h;
x2(i+1)=x2(i)+dX(3)*h;
v1(i+1)=v1(i)+dX(2)*h;
v2(i+1)=v2(i)+dX(4)*h;
end
What you have done is create an additional for-loop (not my intention), and changed your original for-loop indexing (also not my intention). Instead, go back to your original for-loop indexing, and put your derivative code where I have the comment. Basically, at each step you need to recalculate the derivatives based on the current state.

Why are you using i=1:N instead of the original i=1:length(T)-1? Why are you overwriting dx1(i) and dx2(i) each step without doing the if-test part?
