MATLAB: How to create many different matrices, with a for-loop, and their their name to be Ai (A1,A2)

Question

Greeting. I want to create something of that sort

for i=1:10 Ai =…. end

Sadly its not possible. Any suggestions? It would really help my project move up a lot, by saving tons of time

Don't do this. Never include an index in the name of a variable, because using indices is the direct way to use an index. Hiding indices in names of variables is a bad programming style and typical mistake of beginners. Therefore this topic is discussed frequently and exhaustively in the forum. See e.g.:

[EDIED] Use a cell array instead:

A = cell(1, 10);
for i = 1:10
  A{i} = ....
end
