string+number

Dear All,

I wish to write

Cat1 = 4
Cat2 = 5
Cat3 = 6

(p/s: there are no space between 'cat' and numbers)

However I want to do it with "for" command.

For example;
for i=1:3
Cati=i+3;
end

And the answer will be

Cat1 = 4

Is there any way do it?

Really appreciate your helps. Thank you.

Hi,

You can do this
for i=1:3
eval(['cat',num2str(i),'=i+3;']);
end

But, this will drastically slow down your execution time and makes code
readability more harder. I strongly discourage such coding style.

Cheers,
Tilak

Hello,

Yes, I know a way for it:

for i = 1:3
eval(['cat' num2str(i) ' = i+3'])
end

the best...
