Create a character cell in ascending order

i want to create a cell of 1000*1 , containing the strings in ascending order.

Let's say variable1, variable2,....variable999,variable1000. How can i do that with for loop?

Answer 1

[madhan ravi]

With loop:

for i =1:1000
    {sprintf('variable%d',i)}  % if you remove { } it's string array
end

Without loop:

compose('variable%d',(1:1000).') % cell array
compose("variable%d",(1:1000).') % string array

N = 1000;
C = cell(1,N);
for k = 1:N
    C{k} = sprintf('variable%d',k);
end
