Change variable name based on what loop it is on
显示 更早的评论
I have a user input a vector for the variable titled 'k1'. A loop is set up where the input conditions are the same, but the variable name must be changed in order to perform some operations and store the data. I would like it to change based on which loop it is performing, like k1 might be given the name k2 on the second loop. I don't know how I could do this simply or if doing this is possible.

It is possible, but is best avoided:
The neat, simple, robust, reliable, efficient alternative is to use indexing. You should use indexing.

Optimized Memory Usage Strategy:
To efficiently utilize memory based on the type of output variable k, consider the following approach:
- If k is a scalar output (single numeric value per iteration):Preallocate a numeric array to improve performance and memory usage.
k = zeros(array_size1, array_size2); % Preallocate for scalar values
for i = 1:array_size
k(i) = ... ; % Assign scalar result
end
2. If k stores vectors or non-scalar data types (e.g., strings, structures, or arrays):
Use a cell array to accommodate varying data sizes/types.
k = cell(Cellarray_size1, Cellarray_size2); % Preallocate cell array
for i = 1:array_size
k{i} = ... ; % Assign vector or other complex result
end

It is not possible to do this simply.
We firmly recommend that you do not do this.

While it can be done, it almost never should be the way..."there be dragons!" and slow, obfuscated and very difficult to debug code. See <Do not use globals or eval>. The direct link is to @Matt Fig's answer, but the overall discussion/thread is informative and valuable. The offcial Mathworks documentation link <Alternaives to the eval Function> discusses exactly the thing you mention as its first use case...
