MATLAB: Help with Function please !

function

Hello Matlab community!
I need your help for one more time ! 🙂
Well i have made a program for the forward kinematics of one finger. That program has a function which is … function kin(q1,q2,q3,t) These (q1,q2,q3) are the angles of the joints for the finger. I want to do that for the rest of the fingers but i don't want to make the exact same program for each of the fingers. I want to just do that from one program. What i have in mind is , if it is q1_1, q1_2, q1_3 it is for the first finger , q2_1, q2_2, q2_3 is for the second finger etc.
Can you please help me with this ? Thanks a lot in advance Nick

Please don't do this. Follow this thread. http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/143-how-do-i-make-a-series-of-variables-a1-a2-a3-a10
I suggest you make a 5x3 matrix, for example,
FingerAngle=rand(5,3);
Then call the function for the first finger
kin(FingerAngle(1,1),FingerAngle(1,2),FingerAngle(1,3))
For the second finger, it will be
kin(FingerAngle(2,1),FingerAngle(2,2),FingerAngle(2,3))
Or a little bit advanced, use cell array
FingerAngle=num2cell(rand(5,3));
% for the first finger
kin(FingerAngle{1,:})
% for the second finger
kin(FingerAngle{2,:})
