MATLAB: How to turn a matrix into a Multidimensional Array

Question

for example if I have:

>> A=[2 8; 0 5]

A =

     2     8
     0     5

and I want to separate each row so that A=

A(:,:,1) =

     2     8

A(:,:,2) =

     0     5

Answer 1

permute(A,[3 2 1])

or

reshape(A.',1,size(A,2),[])
