noise = [1,2,0,3,0,0,0,4];
a = sum(noise)

when I execute this I get:

??? Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals.

Error in ==> test3>haps at 22
  a = sum(noise)

Error in ==> test3 at 5
C    = haps(2);

what is wrong??

You have a variable called 'sum' in your workspace.  Try renaming it to
something else in your script or clear it before doing the sum.

at the place where this happens, set a breakpoint, start the program and 
once the debugger stops there, at the commandline type "which sum" and 
report the findings.
i suspect you defined a local SUM function which shadows the one defined 
in matlab...

Actually, this should be a variable named sum.
Note the error message. It refers to the line

>> a = sum(noise)

and then talks about subscript indices.

Never name things names like sum.
