Running the code takes too long to finish(Euler's Method)

I'm trying to create a code to use Euler's method in solving the differential equation as shown below. When I try to run the code, it takes a long time to do each iteration. I feel I have made a mistake when declaring variables. I have also placed a picture of a segment of the supposed output of the code which I got from my professor. Any insight would be appreciated.
rho=1000;
g=9.8;
A_tank=3.13;
A_pipe=0.06;
C=pi/12;
K1=300;
K2=1000;
syms dh(t,h)
dh(t,h)=(K1+K2*sin(5*C*t)*cos(C*t)-rho*A_pipe*(2*g*h)^(1/2))/(rho*A_tank);
t=0;
tn=150;
h=3;
s=0.1;
ts=t:s:tn;
hwt=[];
fprintf('time \t\t height \n')
fprintf('%f \t %f\t \n',t,h)
for i=1:numel(ts)
h=h+dh(t,h)*s;
t=t+s;
fprintf('%f \t %f\t \n',t,h);
hwt(i)=h;
end
plot(ts,hwt)

Remove
syms dh(t,h)
and replace
dh(t,h)=(K1+K2*sin(5*C*t)*cos(C*t)-rho*A_pipe*(2*g*h)^(1/2))/(rho*A_tank);
with
dh = @(t,h)(K1+K2*sin(5*C*t)*cos(C*t)-rho*A_pipe*(2*g*h)^(1/2))/(rho*A_tank);
to get
