MATLAB: Save matrices of the sequential names in cell array

save matrix problem

hi all,

i have question about matrices of the sequential names in cell array with for loop, the matrices named like this A1,A2,A3,……. and so on.

i used this code

for i = 1:5 eval(['A' num2str(i) '=i*ones(2*i,2*i)']); C{i}=(['A', num2str(i)]); end

but i get in the cell only the char of matrix with out the value inside it.

 i will be grateful to any help.

Why everybody wants to put the index into the variable name? That's exactly how you not profit from Matlab's strengths.

I guess you want to have something like

 A=cellfun(@(x) x*ones(2*x),num2cell(1:5),'uniform',false);

MATLAB: Concatenate arrays within a loop,

Easy, given any number of arrays in a cell array C. You could use a loop like this, although it is inefficient because the output array is not preallocated:

C = {[1,2],[3,4],...} % cell array of arrays.
A = C{1};
for k = 2:numel(C)
    A = [A;C{k}];
end

Simpler and more efficient would be to concatenate them all at once, without a loop, e.g.:

A = vertcat(C{:})

Whatever you do, do NOT try to access variable names dynamically in a loop! Read this to know why:

Using an array (e.g. a cell array) and indexing is much simpler, neater, much more efficient, less buggy, and easier to debug.

Don't use evil eval for this...see the FAQ (there's also examples in the doc's now)
