Matlab does silent automagic allocation -- just assign

z=zeros(2); % is a 2x2 array

See "Getting Started" section in the documentation and work thru the examples to get an idea on "how Matlab works.

A neat trick is that you can expand an existing array or scalar by setting the last value to something. For example:

m=5; % m is a scalar
m(10,20) = 9;

m is now a 10 by 20 array of zeros except for the two (1,1) and (10,20) elements which equal 5 and 9 respectively.

You can also preallocate cell arrays with the cell() function and structure arrays with the struct() function.

...can expand an existing array or scalar by setting the last value to something.

I was just coming back to add that in, IA... :)

But, I'll note for the OP one doesn't have to add to an existing variable, same thing works to create the array; ie,

m(10,20)=9;

as the first statement will leave the array w/ just the one "9" at location 10,10, all else is zeros. It's functionally equivalent to

m=zeros(10,20);
m(end,end)=9;

where I've deliberately used the alternate functional indexing reference end as a tutorial device as well... :)
