arrayarrays

Hello everyone

I want to create a single array (408 x 1) that filled monthly from 1982-01-01 to 2015-12-01.

like below:

1982-01-01

1982-02-01

1982-03-01

1982-04-01

2015-12-01

Thank you for any help you can provide.

d = datetime(1982,1,1):calmonths(1):datetime(2015,12,1);

In addition to Walter's suggestions, it may also be possible to take advantage of the roll-over behavior of the datetime constructor:

>> datetime(2016,11,1,(0:3:36)',0,0)
ans = 
  13×1 datetime array
   01-Nov-2016 00:00:00
   01-Nov-2016 03:00:00
   01-Nov-2016 06:00:00
   01-Nov-2016 09:00:00
   01-Nov-2016 12:00:00
   01-Nov-2016 15:00:00
   01-Nov-2016 18:00:00
   01-Nov-2016 21:00:00
   02-Nov-2016 00:00:00
   02-Nov-2016 03:00:00
   02-Nov-2016 06:00:00
   02-Nov-2016 09:00:00
   02-Nov-2016 12:00:00

% intialization and preallocation
k = 1;
date = strings(480,1);  % string array
 
for i = 1982:2015
    for j = 1:12
        % concat string
        date(k) = strcat(num2str(i),'-',num2str(j,'%02d'),'-01');
        % display strings
        fprintf('%s\n',date(k));       
        % increment
        k = k+1;
    end
