Error using table (line 254) , 2021a vs 2018a

hey guys,

i do have a problem that seems to occur based on the matlab version i use:

In 2021a this row creates a table as i want:

table('Size',[12 13],'VariableNames',{'400','600','800','1000','1200','1400','1600','1800','2000','2200','2500','3000','3500'}, 'RowNames',{'-400','-300','-200','-100','0','50','100','200','300','410','420','490'},'VariableTypes',["string","string","string","string","string","string","string","string","string","string","string","string","string"]);

In 2018a the same line creates the following error:

Error using table (line 254). Specify variable types as a cell array of character vectors, indicating the type of each variable created.

Does anyone know why it works in 2021a but not in 2018a? Ive found nothing..

Any help is highly appreciated, thanks in advance!!

Best, Marvin

Judging by the error message, R2018a does not support string arrays for that parameter.

You can use a cell array of character vectors with both versions.
