SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on accessing matrices by name in MATLAB using indexing. The user seeks a method to dynamically reference matrices A1, A2, and A3 within a loop. Two primary solutions are presented: utilizing the genvarname function or employing cell arrays. The consensus is that cell arrays offer a more straightforward implementation for this task.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of MATLAB programming
  • Familiarity with MATLAB cell arrays
  • Knowledge of the genvarname function in MATLAB
  • Experience with loops and indexing in MATLAB
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the use of MATLAB cell arrays for dynamic variable referencing
  • Learn about the genvarname function and its applications
  • Investigate best practices for managing multiple matrices in MATLAB
  • Review MATLAB documentation on loops and indexing techniques
USEFUL FOR

MATLAB programmers, data analysts, and anyone looking to efficiently manage and reference multiple matrices in their code.

If I have a few matrices defined, say A1 A2 A3
I want to use a loop to call out these individually. I can't just do
for k=1:3
B(k) = funct( A(k) )+ etc...
end

since A(k) will call the kth element of "A" but what I want is to refer to the name of the matrix (by the number next to the letter A). So how do I call out a matrix by name in MATLAB using and index?
