Try this:
myNumbers = [2.3, pi] % Whatever
% Find out how many unique numbers there are.
numNumbers = length(unique(myNumbers))
% Create a labeled 3-by-5 matrix with values from 1 to numNumbers
m = randi(numNumbers, 3, 5)
% Now replace each integer label ID of m with the value from myNumbers
for k = 1 : numNumbers
m(m == k) = myNumbers(k);
end
% Print to command window:
m
In the command window you'll see:
myNumbers =
2.3 3.1416
numNumbers =
2
m =
1 2 1 2 2
2 1 1 1 2
1 2 1 1 2
m =
2.3 3.1416 2.3 3.1416 3.1416
3.1416 2.3 2.3 2.3 3.1416
2.3 3.1416 2.3 2.3 3.1416
It's generalizable to any numbers you want to use, not just integers, and any number of rows and columns.
