Solving a linear equation using for loop and equationsToMatrix

Hi
I am trying to solve a linear equation whose number of variables are defined by the user
I do not know how to define a matrix for equations
(I know how to solve this with another method but I am trying to use equationsToMatrix)
Is my approach to define a matrix like eq(n) correct?
clc
clear all
%This program will solve 1D Heat Transfer through a wire
T_A=10; %input('please specify the temperature at left \n') %Bounndary condition
T_B= 40; %input('please specify the temperature at Right \n') %Boundary condition
k= 100; %input('please specify the Conductivity \n')
node=input('please specify the number of nodes \n')
L=5 %input('please specify the Length of the wire \n')
S=100; %input('Heat generation rate in the wire \n')
syms T [1 node];
d=L/node;
D=k/d;
A=0.1;
V=A*d;
for n= 1:node
switch n
case n==1
a_L=0;
a_R=D.*A;
S_p=-2.*D.*A;
S_u=T_A.*(2.*D.*A+(S.*V));
a_p=a_L+a_R-S_p;
eq(n)= (a_p.*T(n))-(a_L.*T_B)-(a_R.*T(n+1))==S_u;
case n==node
a_R=0;
a_L=D.*A;
S_p=-2.*D.*A;
S_u=T_B.*(2.*D.*A+(S.*V));
a_p=a_R+a_L-S_p;
eq(n)= (a_p.*T(n))-(a_R.*T_A)-(a_L.*T(n-1))==s_u;
otherwise
S_p=0;
S_u=S.*V;
a_R=A.*D;
a_L=A.*D;
a_p=a_L+a_R-S_p;
eq(n)= (T(n).*a_p)-((T(n-1)).*a_L)-((T(n+1)).*a_R)==S_u;
end
end
[Z,Y] = equationsToMatrix(eq , T)
