Unable to perform assignment because the left and right sides have a different number of elements.

Hello,
I am fairly new to programming and MATLAB so this may be an easy solution. Basically I am trying to solve for a variable and call it "x0(3)". When I run it however, I get an error saying "Unable to perform assignment because the left and right sides have a different number of elements."
This is my code,
syms sy F d g2
lsf=(g2==sy*((pi*d^2)/4)-F);
mem=[61000,60000,1.5];
std=[5200,15000,0.021];
n=3;
for i=1:2
x0(i)=mem(i)
end
a=solve (lsf,d);
x0(3)=vpa(subs(a,[sy F d g2],[x0(1) x0(2) d 0]))
and my output,
When I change x0(3) to a letter, like B, then I get the value I am looking for. Is there a way I can make the variable set to x0(3)?
Thank you!

Jonathan - when you have something like
x0(3) = ...;
you are treating x0 as an array where you are setting the third element to a value. Do you mean for x0 to be an array? What are the dimensions of the output from vpa? I suspect that it isn't a scalar and that is why you are observing the error (and why it will work when you don't try to assign the output to an array).

No loops needed:
syms sy F d g2
lsf=(g2==sy*((pi*d^2)/4)-F);
mem=[61000,60000,1.5];
std=[5200,15000,0.021];
n=3;
x0=mem(1:2);
a=solve(lsf,d);
b=vpa(subs(a,[sy F d g2],[x0(1) x0(2) d 0]));
Wanted=[repmat(x0,size(b)),b]
