How do I modify my code to get rid of this error: "Index exceeds the number of array elements. Index must not exceed 1. Error in AEM614HW2Q2 (line 35) "

This is my error.
Index exceeds the number of array elements (1).
Error in HW2P2 (line 35)

C(j,n) = 2*b/(pi*c(j)) * sin(n*theta) + n * sin(n*theta)/sin(theta);%get rid of theta(j) theta is scalar, cannot index >1 into it

for theta = linspace(.001,pi-.001,20);
theta is a scalar
for n = 1:N
C(j,n) = 2*b/(pi*c(j)) * sin(n*theta(j)) + n * sin(n*theta(j))/sin(theta(j));
end
but there theta has to be a vector of length N
