Merge a variable name with a running index from a loop?

Hi there, I want to save data generated within a loop in a set of variables, whereas I want the variables to have the running index attached to it. How can I do that?

Example:

for i=1:10
  result=i^2
  variable1=result  =>>!! here I want to define sth that makes matlab create a variable name variable+i
end

Many thanks in advance!

Don't do this.

It is much nicer, easier, and more reliable to debug to use a cell instead:

a = cell(1, 10);
for i = 1:10;
  a{i} = result;
end
