calling a matrix with different names in a for loop

I have three matrixes with different names as NPV_1, NPV2 and NPV_3. I have tried the below but It did not work. Can you please help

for i = 1:3
    
    
    fm =forfor sprintf('NPV_%d',i);
    NPV_Mat = fm; 
    
end

Accessing separate variable names like that is one way that beginners force themselves into writing slow, complex, obfuscated, buggy code that is hard to debug. Read this to know why:

I agree and going to fix it. Thanks a lot for sharing this

Simply put your three matrices into one cell array, then your task is trivial:

C = {NPV_1, NPV2, NPV_3};
for k = 1:numel(C)
    M = C{k};
    ... do whatever with M
end
