% 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
end
