MATLAB: Trying to create a cleaner code

Question

Hello,

I am trying to make a matrix in MATLAB that does this:

for i=1:1:400

M(i,1)=1;

M(i,2)=i;

M(i,3)=i.^2;

M(i,4)=cos(2*pi*t(i)/T+(i*pi/180));

end

But in one line.

Tried quite some things but they just wouldn't work.

Your help is much appreciated!

Cheers!!

Using 4 (rather than 400):

T = 42;
ii = (1:4).';                                                   % Note: Transpose

t = linspace(0, 42, numel(ii)).';                               % Note: Transpose
M = [ones(size(ii)), ii, ii.^2, cos(2*pi*t/T+(ii*pi/180))];
