MATLAB: Error when using horzcat

kjetil87 amit

Hi for all…
i have error when using horzcat >>> i crate two vectors randomly ( count1=randi(0:1 ,[1,32]); ) and ( count2=randi(0:1 ,[1,32]); ) and i have this vector number ( d0 = dec2bin( 17623,15); ) the problem is : when i using horzcat ( count1,count2,d0) the result appear with some symbols
can anyone help me

The problem is that the output from dec2bin is a string, so horizcat considers everything a string. The ‘symbols’ you see are therefore ‘d0’. To see all of the variables as a string of [0 1] ‘bits’ (strings in this instance), use num2str:
count1=num2str(randi(0:1 ,[1,32]),'%d');
count2=num2str(randi(0:1 ,[1,32]),'%d');
d0 = dec2bin( 17623,15);
result = horzcat(count1,count2,d0)
