save matrices of the sequential names in cell array

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);

Why not just use cell arrays?

 for i =1:5
  A{i} = i*ones(2*i,2*i);
  C{i} = A{i};
 end

But if you insist on using eval,

 eval(['C{i} = A' num2str(i) ';']) or...
 C{i} = eval(['A' num2str(i) ';'])
