Error: Why does Matlab keep on saying this?

As part of an exercise, I wrote the following code:

%define colors for each face

      myred = [1, 0, 0];
      mygreen = [0, 1, 0];
      myblue = [0, 0, 1];
      myyellow = [1, 1, 0];
      mycyan = [0, 1, 1];

      patchcolors = [...
      myred;... %front
      mygreen;... %back
      myblue;... %right
      myyellow;... %left
      mycyan;... %top
      mycyan;... %bottom
      ];

For the line starting with myred =...., the command window says:

" The expression to the left of the equals sign is not a valid target for an assignment."

The editor shows this:

If I hover my cursor over the highlighted errors, this is what I get:

I don't see what is obviously wrong with the code. In fact, if I write the exact same line under that first line (myred=....), Matlab seems to find no error in it.

Advice? Suggestions?

What are the lines above the shown code?

Most likely you're missing a closing ), } or ] on a line before the error. Post (or attach) your whole code.

No need to bother with this. I solved what the problem was.

What happened is that I didn't terminate the piece of code that went BEFORE this piece. As a result, Matlab was trying to interpret this code as part of the one that went before it.

Both Dennis and Guillaume were right about their suspicions. Thanks for trying to help :)

The problem lies not with the code you provided, but with the code before that. I see that in your second screenshot, you ended your previous array with:

9,10,11,12,... %bottom

You just forget to add the bracket there

9,10,11,12,... %bottom
];

[Dennis]

patchcolors = [...
%code
];

Thanks.

That is exactly what happened. :P My bad.
