how to create a for loop for 3 variables

2 views (last 30 days)
%how can I reiteratively create a foor loop for the following:
Number1 = Point(1:15*7);
Number2 = Point(1+15*7 : 2*15*7);
Number3 = Point(1+2*(15*7) : 3*(15*7);

% Make up a random input. (You don't need this step)
Point = rand(1,3*15*7);
% Define these parameters for convenience
NR = 3;
NC = 15*7;
% Initialize the output array
Number = zeros(NR,NC);
% Fill the array
for n = 1:NR
Number(n,:) = Point((n-1)*NC+1:n*NC);
end
Each variable you have called Number1, etc, is a row of Number. It is better to not use dynamically named variables.

100% agree with @Stephen, even though I finally caved in a told you how to do what you asked for.
I strongly suggest you read the info I provided on why it's a bad idea to name variables Number1, Number2, etc.

This probably isn't exactly what you want, but I'm not sure what you're working with, and the approach can probably be improved. Consider this a suggestion more than a complete answer.
A few points:
  • I don't know what Point is. I'm going to assume it's a vector and that it's integer-divisible by 105
  • Embedding indexing information in variable names is counterproductive. Avoid that in favor of using array indexing or something
  • Use meaningful variable names. Calling a numeric variable "Number" conveys no information.
% i assume that numel(Point) is integer-divisible by 105
Point = 1:315;
% now each row of Point is what you would have called NumberX
Point = reshape(Point,105,[]).';
% say those are x,y,z components of a point list
plot3(Point(1,:),Point(2,:),Point(3,:)); grid on
If Point is not necessarily integer-divisible by the assumed row length and any excess is to be ignored, you can simply truncate the length of the vector before reshaping it.
rl = 105; % row length
Point = 1:320; % not integer-divisible by row length
Point = Point(1:rl*floor(numel(Point)/rl)); % truncate
Again, it's hard to know what you're after. I'm assuming you're intending to generalize for more than 3 rows.
