Matlab index (I tried to name a matrix to use in a loop like variables.)

I tried to name a matrix to use in a loop like variables.
for example
A(1)=[1 2;3 4]
A(2)=A(1)*2
A(3)=A(2)*2
.
.
.
A(j)=A(j-1)*2
But I can't use the notation A(j) in the loop. what should I call the j of A?

You can use cell arrays to do the task. Simple example is,
A{1} = [1 2; 3 4];
for j = 2 : 10;
A{j} = A{j-1} * 2;
end

@coffee do not use braces. It not cell array instead matrix
It is better to use curly braces rather than using normal brackets. For example, if you define a matrix A, then A(i) suggests the i'th element of the A matrix (as a column vector ). Moreover, your code
n=4; % define accord to your requriements
A(1)=[1 2;3 4]
for i=1:n
A(i)=A(i-1)*2;
end
won't work because in A(i) = B, the number of elements in i and B must be the same.
A{j} is the wanted matrix. The curly braces mean, that the contents of the cell array is replied, not the cell itself.

use the for loop approach to save time. Please define n(representing the times you want these calculations
n=4; % define accord to your requriements
A(1)=[1 2;3 4]
for i=1:n
A(i)=A(i-1)*2;
end

No, you are operating upon single elements. The original poster wants to operate on entire matrices.
A(1) = [1 2; 3 4];
is going to give you an error about matrix dimensions not agreeing, as you are attempting to assign a 2 x 2 matrix into a location only large enough to store a scalar.
@Walter actually the given question required little more explanations. Specially in term of output (vector or matrix)
Either way your code A(1) = [1 2; 3 4]; will not work.

Either use a cell array, as coffee Murun has suggested:
A{1} = [1 2; 3 4];
for j = 2 : 10;
A{j} = A{j-1} * 2;
end
Or use a 3D-array:
A(:,:,1) = [1 2; 3 4]; % This is the same as: A = [1 2; 3 4]
for j = 2 : 10;
A(:, :, j) = A(:, :, j-1) * 2;
end
