回答： Alphonce Owayo ，2021-2-23

I have two matrices say

x=[2 4 9 10];
syms c [1 4];
x==c
it returns
2=c1
4=c2
9=c3
10=c4

However when I write c1 in command window, it returns symbolic 'c1'.

I wanted to extract these numeric values or assign these values to c vector. How one would go around this.

x==c

The "==" operator is normally used as a logic comparison operation, not an assignment. In the case of using symbolic variables, "==" defines an equation, which could be solved, for example, with the matlab function solve. If you want to give values to your variables, use only one "=" sign, for example:

x=[2 4 9 10];
syms c [1 4];
>> c(1) = 2
 
c =
 
[ 2, c2, c3, c4]
 
>> c=x
c =
     2     4     9    10

You're right, it becomes an equation when it contain symbolic variables. Since I believe he was knew to matlab I thought the more general definition of the operator would be easier to understand/apply to future cases. I will edit the answer accordingly
