How to subtract symbol associated matrix columnwise

3 次查看(过去 30 天)
A = [A; B; C; D]
B = [1 2 3 4; 5 6 7 8; 9 10 11 12; 13 14 15 16]
% my desired output is
C =
A-1 A-2 A-3 A-4
B-5 B-6 B-7 B-8
C-9 C-10 C-11 C-12
D-13 D-14 D-15 D-16
Thanks alot!

You cannot simply substract these two matrices, becasue B contains integers (double), and A has strings.
You need to convert B to strings, and then you can use cat function to get the desired output.
A = {'A','B', 'C', 'D'};
B = [1 2 3 4; 5 6 7 8; 9 10 11 12; 13 14 15 16];
B_str=arrayfun(@num2str,B,'un',0);
C=arrayfun(@(index) strcat(A{index},'-',B_str(index,:)), 1:size(B,2),'uni',0);
output_matrix=cat(1,C{:})
output_matrix = 4×4 cell array
{'A-1' } {'A-2' } {'A-3' } {'A-4' } {'B-5' } {'B-6' } {'B-7' } {'B-8' } {'C-9' } {'C-10'} {'C-11'} {'C-12'} {'D-13'} {'D-14'} {'D-15'} {'D-16'}

Thank you. You are very correct, although I was trying to relate the answer here to a question I asked ealier in https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/877563-solve-an-algebraic-matrix-equation. It is to solve a time dependent force function columnwise with A,B,C,D as the unknown variable, here converting the numeric to string may worsen my problem I think, cause I don't know much of MATLAB.

syms A B C D
A1 = [A; B; C; D]
A1 = 
B = [1 2 3 4; 5 6 7 8; 9 10 11 12; 13 14 15 16]
B = 4×4
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
A1 - B
ans =
