Hi
I have a problem in assigning a large number of variables with increasing indices.
Here is a simple example which shows exactley what I want:

var1=a; % a,b,... are are numbers or outputs of some functions
var2=b;
var3=c;
.
.
.
var100=z;

How can I do such an assignment in a for loop.I DON'T WANT TO USE ARRAYS.


What is the answer if a,b,c,... are outputs of functions which are named by
indices themselves.For example fun1(x1,x2,...),fun2(x1,x2,...),...

In fact my question is how to creat indices and add them to the name of variables and
functions?

Please help me.I really need it.
Thank you so much for your help.
 

I believe the following is something you may want to try, and results are saved in a file "myresults.txt" in your work directory:

file_out=fopen('myresults.txt','w');
for i=1:max_num
a_number=some_number;
fprintf(file_out,'var%d = %10.5f',i,a_number);
end;
fclose(file_out);

Sorry, I don't have 'matlab' handy.

you may use the eval function. the for loop may look like
Code: 
for i=1:100
m=['var',int2str(i),"=fun",int2str(i),"(x1,x2,x3,x4,x5......)"];
eval m;
clear m;
end

We first create our string...for instance for the first run m will be a string holding var1=fun1(x1,x2,x3....) . Then using the eval function, we tell the matlab that the sting m is holding a command and we tell him to execute that command. I hope this helps :)

Thank you both for your useful comments.
The answer of "irfan1" is definitely what I wanted and I learned something else
from the answer "steve10".
But as I found out we should use ' ' instead of " " in defining the string m.(to irfan)
